However, the offense performed quite well in 2022, finishing fourth in passing touchdowns, seventh in yards, eighth in earned points and eighth in redzone TD percentage.
so when CBS Sports The theory that ‘rookie wideout’ Jordan Addison was said to be ‘under the most pressure’ was one of the NFL players this week, a bit strange.

Mandatory credit: Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports.In fact, CBS Sports‘ Cody Benjamin Defines 14 Non-Quarterbacks under the most pressure It’s 2023, and Edison – a 21-year-old – somehow made the cut. Addison will play the WR2 or WR3 role for the 2023 Vikings, and he obviously has a lot at stake.
Benjamin explained, “Justin Jefferson is so good that Minnesota can still win games relying only on him and TJ Hockenson in the passing game. But as we’ve seen before, on rare occasions Jefferson is outdone by Kirk Cousins and Co. Goes downstairs.

November 11, 2022; Los Angeles, California, USA; Wide receiver Jordan Addison (3) of the Southern California Trojans after the win against the Colorado Buffaloes at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Mandatory Credits: Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports.An immediately productive Addison would be wonderful for the Vikings offense, but it isn’t entirely necessary. O’Connell has the aforementioned Osborne, a man who believed He Thielen was a WR2 from the time he was released until the NFL Draft.
Because Edison is a first-rounder, he should produce immediately. That’s how the world works for the modern offense-happy NFL. However, if he ‘only’ registers 400-500 yards or some such, all is not lost. Addison is young enough to ‘take his time’ if needed while Minnesota’s attack matures.
Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison was watching a video of himself on draft night – accidentally catching the eye of the Vikings’ general manager and head coach. Minnesota selected Addison with the 23rd overall selection in the 2023 NFL Draft.Benjamin also nominated Vikings outside linebacker Marcus Davenport for the ‘most pressure’ category, but his inclusion makes sense. Davenport, a starting edge rusher, projected just 0.5 sacks in 2022, meaning his totals must increase this season to keep the starting job in business. Davenport has revealed that he is ‘starting from zero’ this season, wearing an even number. 0 for the first time in Vikings history.
