The Green Bay Packers find themselves looking at a top draft pick in 2023. That is a far cry from the pre-season expectations they had just a few short months ago. Nonetheless, the Packers could take advantage of picking higher in the draft than they have in years. Could Green Bay actually take a wide receiver in the first round? One CBS analyst believes Green Bay could land an incredible wide receiver from USC.
Jordan Addison From USC To The Packers In 2023?
Jordan Addison is from Tuscarora High School (Virginia) and was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN. He was also a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Addison opted to join Pittsburgh. In 2020 as a freshman, Addison saw action in 10 games for Pittsburgh as he made 60 receptions for 662 yards for an average of 11.0 yards per reception, with 4 TDs, and a QB rating when targeted of 97.0. As a sophomore in 2021, he exploded with an incredible year while playing in 14 games and having 100 catches for 1593 yards for an average of 15.9 yards per catch, with a huge 17 TDs, and a QB rating when targeted of 136.7.
Before the 2022 season, he entered the transfer portal and joined USC. So far this year he has 59 receptions, 875 yards, and eight touchdowns. He is also averaging over 14 yards per catch. Addison is an ultra-shifty, super-reliable target who could play inside or outside for Green Bay. He would also be a great compliment to Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson. After Green Bay’s lack of consistency on offense in 2022, adding Addison in 2023 would be another step in the right direction. Here are a couple of highlights:

12 – WR Jordan Addison (USC)
Guys who are good route runners AND productive in college usually turn into good pros. He gives them 3 legitimate WRs & the potential to be the best of the bunch. He can win at all three levels and plays bigger than his size pic.twitter.com/9k1ohABEVz— Chicago Football Connection (@CFCBears) November 28, 2022
