Everyone knows that wide receiver Justin Jefferson is the focal point for the Minnesota Vikings on offense.
The three-time All-Pro and former Offensive Player of the Year, fresh off of signing a record-breaking deal, is arguably the best wide receiver in the league.
However, the one player that gets forgotten about is former first-round pick Jordan Addison.
According to The Athletic‘s Alec Lewis, Addison is “quiet but capable of extreme torture on defenses.”
Lewis also noted that he is “buying stock in his (Addison) future.”

Lewis also noted how no member of the #Vikings was “more captivating to watch glide across the practice field this spring” and that he’s “buying stock in his future.”

Not only will Addison get lost because Jefferson is in the building, but Pro Bowl tight end T.J. Hockenson and former Pro Bowl running back Aaron Jones are also there.
As a rookie in 2023, the former USC star caught 70 passes for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns.
He took the reins as the team’s No. 1 wide receiver while Jefferson battled injuries as the season went on.
In doing so, he made the PFWA’s All-Rookie Team and proved how dangerous of a threat he can be.
Now, he won’t be catching passes from a four-time Pro-Bowler in Kirk Cousins this year.
Cousins left to sign a four-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons as a free agent.
It will either be veteran Sam Darnold or rookie J.J. McCarthy.
So, it might be a little bumpy in the first half of the year.
But, Cousins did go down with an Achilles injury midway through the season and Addison still produced.
Look for him to do the same this season given what Lewis is saying.
