PITTSBURGH -- Former Pitt Panthers wideout Jordan Addison is becoming one of the faces of the Minnesota Vikings as he enters his second season as a professional.

Addison, who spent two immensely productive seasons at Pitt, was one of the players the Vikings chose to model their new, all-white "Winter Warrior" uniforms that were unveiled this week.

Addison's rookie season was a resounding success. He accounted for 70 receptions, 911 yards and 10 touchdowns as the No. 2 option to Justin Jefferson while catching passes from a rotating arrangement of quarterbacks in Minnesota. He was named to the 2023 All-Rookie Team for his efforts last season.

He was drafted 23rd overall by the Vikings in the 2023 NFL Draft after a stunning three years at Pitt and USC. He accounted for 3,134 receiving yards  and 29 touchdowns - more than half of which came during his Biletnikoff Award-winning season for the Panthers in 2021.

Despite losing Kirk Cousins in free agency, Addison has earned some lofty expectations for himself going into 2024 and will be a featured part of the Vikings moving forward.
