What sticks out when you initially watch Addison is how easily he gets on the hip of cornerbacks in his vertical tree. 

​

His 10.85 in the 100m is on full display here.

Good timing on double moves with the fluidity during the re-acceleration phase to create big-play opportunities. 

​

Will immediately bring a strong vertical presence to an NFL passing attack.

As much as he wins on the third level of a defense, his presence as a threat on schemed touches is there as well. Not overly abrupt, or sudden as a mover, but he wins with timing in open space. 

​

Think of how Philadelphia uses DeVonta Smith in the screen game -- intellect > size.

See this again -- quick screen with tackle coming boundary side. 

​

Able to bend path subtly to the numbers, and negate contact.

Timing -- Timing -- Timing

​

Addison is a finesse receiver through and through, relying on precision to win in contested catch situations. 

​

Patient when the ball is in flight with the body control to finish plays. 

Expectations & Range of outcomes

Realistically, we are looking at a Wide Receiver slightly behind the top tier of those 1B-type players -- Smith, Waddle, Higgins. Has the three-level functionality to have boom weeks against poor defenses with the ability to be a weekly safety net for an offense. 

​

This class has a lot of those guys who are likely more "2's than 1's," but that does not mean he should lack value.

 

Landing spot depending, I would take him around 1.08 in my Rookie Drafts as my third/fourth receiver off the board.
