The Minnesota Vikings selected WR Jordan Addison in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft in hopes that he could be a direct replacement for Adam Thielen, who departed for the Carolina Panthers this spring.
Addison showed off his skills in Minnesota’s first preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks, showcasing a few dazzling routes and catching one pass for 22 yards. He could have had another toe-tapping grab on the sidelines, but it was ruled incomplete.
