He played college football at Pittsburgh, where he won the 2021 Fred Biletnikoff Award before playing the following season at USC.

Addison was selected by the Vikings in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Addison attended Tuscarora High School in Frederick, Maryland.

He committed to the University of Pittsburgh to play college football.

He chose to wear #3 for the Trojans, which was previously retired in honor of Carson Palmer, the 2002 Heisman Trophy winner.

Addison was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the first round, 23rd overall, of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Driving a Lamborghini Urus on Interstate 94 in Saint Paul, he was allegedly going 140 mph in a 55 mph zone at 3AM.

The same day, the Vikings released a statement, stating they were aware of the incident and were looking into it.

Addison told a police officer at the scene that he was driving at that speed due to a medical emergency involving his pet dog.
