The Vikings’ addition of Jordan Addison with their first-round pick in last month’s draft has been celebrated as a move that won’t just give the team another quality receiver but also will create valuable room for superstar Justin Jefferson to operate. It’s what the Vikings hoped Adam Thielen would be able to do last season before injuries and the aging process took their toll on the one-time standout.
Combine the Jefferson and Addison pairing with a full season of tight end T.J. Hockenson and coach/play-caller Kevin O’Connell and quarterback Kirk Cousins are expecting the Vikings’ scoring offense to shoot from eighth into the top five in 2023.
