3. Alabama

Pittsburgh and USC fans probably both got a little worried on Wednesday when it was reported that Jordan Addison was working out with Alabama Heisman-winning QB Bryce Young.

Tyler Harrell and Jermaine Burton were both added from the transfer portal from Louisville and Georgia to help address the wide receiver position which suffered losses to the NFL draft and the portal which includes Jameson Williams and John Metchie III.

Alabama isn’t hurting for talent. But, if you are Addison and want to go to a place that churns out first-round receivers, it’s hard to argue against Alabama. It has the best QB in the country and the best track record of turning out pros.

Plus, the addition of Jordan Addison would transform the wide receiver position into something of a question mark for the Crimson Tide, into a strength.

And from Addison’s perspective, he could win a national title and be a first-rounder. Why wouldn’t he at least consider that?
