Strengths, weaknesses and NFL role
Where he wins: Route-Running
Addison excels at creating separation to the point where his lack of size is an afterthought. He'll be able to run a full route tree from Day 1 in the NFL.
What's his role? High-end No. 2
Addison doesn't have prototypical No. 1 receiver traits, but if defenses leave him singled up, he'll still make them pay. He can seamlessly fill a number of roles in an NFL offense.
What he can improve: Play strength
Addison is a completely different receiver when given a free release compared to when corners land their hands on him. Some added muscle will go a long way toward helping him gain leverage more consistently.
