Dad’s Take on Jordan Addison

Look at this kid running around like he's late for his college math class! That baby face and scrawny frame makes him look like he should be asking for hall passes, not catching NFL touchdowns. Sure, he put up some fancy rookie numbers, but I've seen high school equipment managers who look more intimidating than this walking stick figure in purple pajamas!

About Jordan Addison

Polished as advertised, Addison transitioned seamlessly into the NFL. His 70 catches in 2023 were second most by a Vikings rookie, and he was the 13th rookie in league history to post 900 yards through the air and 10 touchdown catches. It was like the pros were just waiting for him to take his place. YEAR 2023 TEAM VIKINGS REC 70 YDS 911 AVG 13.0 TD 10 NFL TOTALS 70 911 13.0 10

Addison came out of his shell once he got to training camp. "He's starting to talk a little more," All-Pro wideout Justin Jefferson said.

In Week 4 of 2024, Addison added a first to his fast-growing list of achievements. He accepted a handoff from Sam Darnold, took off around the edge and juked several Packers defenders for a 7-yard touchdown in Minnesota's 31-29 victory. The sweet play marked his first career rushing score.
