Weaknesses:
The biggest concern with Addison is his play strength. Addison lacks the physicality to fight off opposing defensive backs in press coverage. In these situations, he can be physically overwhelmed and lose one-on-one battles; he needs to develop his overall functional strength. With minimal length and catch radius, Addison may not be as effective on the outside. Considering his questionable long speed, he is likely better suited playing in the slot for the immediate future.
