Narduzzi praises Addison's 'detailed' approach as sophomore receiver becomes Biletnikoff semifinalist

Jordan Addison has believed in himself since he first stepped on the field for Pitt in 2020, and has been open about his high expectations for himself.

Addison has made himself a major name in college football by being ranked among the best in the country with his 11 receiving touchdowns tied for most in the country and his 1,070 receiving yards be ninth-most.
