WR Jordan Addison Has Clear Message for Steelers QB Kenny Pickett

As former USC wide receiver Jordan Addison navigates the NFL combine, he is also advocating for the possibility of reuniting with his former Pitt teammate and Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett in the NFL.

Addison, who transferred to USC in May 2022 after two seasons at Pitt, told reporters in Indianapolis that it would be “good” to reconnect with Pickett, urging the rising second-year signal-caller to come after his talents in the upcoming draft in April.

“That’d be real cool,” Addison said of potentially playing with Pickett. “Come [Pittsburgh] get me. That’ll help the transition a lot. Just having your former quarterback, you already got a relationship, No. 1, and then that trust factor. So with him, once you’re running your routes, he’s trusting you to be at a certain spot at the right time.”
