1. Jordan Addison is a blossoming star

Jordan Addison has been the best freshman prospect that I have seen yet in college football.

In two years, we are going to be talking about Addison like we talk about Purdue wide receiver Rondale Moore. He was incredible in this matchup, making about three ridiculous catches over the course of the game and posting a seven-catch, 77-yard performance and scored the first touchdown of the game.

He’s a perfect blend of speed, athleticism, size, and physicality. I was very surprised watching his effectiveness in the game. He has good hands, as evidenced by the incredible catches that he made, and is effective making plays in traffic while surrounded by defenders.

Addison is the best player on this offense, in my opinion, and he’s only a freshman. He has a very bright future and will be playing on Sundays.
