In 2021, Addison caught 100 passes, 17 of them touchdowns, for 1,593 yards, and his efforts earned him the Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s most outstanding receiver.

Pickett was the 20th pick in the 2022 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Addison transferred west where he caught 59 passes for 875 yards and eight touchdowns in 11 games.
Now, Addison wants to bring the magic back to western Pennsylvania.
“Hey, if we get together, that would be nice,” Addison said, via ESPN. “That would be great. Very easy transition. Come find me.”
“That will help a lot in the transition. Just having your former quarterback. You already have a relationship, number 1, and then that trust factor. So with him, once you’re going your routes, he trusts you. to be in a certain place at the right time”.
