Will there be a Caleb Williams-Jordan Addison reunion with the Minnesota Vikings? Probably not, but that wonât stop some Vikings fans from dreaming about the possibility of acquiring both USC Football stars. Itâs a thought that was sparked by Caleb Williamsâ latest Instagram post.
Williams shared a picture of Addison wearing a Vikings uniform to his Instagram story. Minnesota selected Addison with the No 23 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The USC quarterback is currently projected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Williams connected with Addison for 875 yards and eight touchdowns in the 2022 college football season. Williams won the Heisman Trophy with 4,537 passing yards, 42 passing touchdowns and five interceptions.
During Super Bowl week, Williams told âPeopleâ that the Miami Dolphins would be his No. 1 choice for a potential destination in the NFL. Williams said that he likes to âbe around younger coachesâ and cited the Dolphinsâ array of playmakers.
The Vikings seem to fit the bill for what Williams is looking for in an NFL team. Vikings head coach Kevin OâConnell is only 37 years old. Minnesota star Justin Jefferson has the most receiving yards by wide receiver through the first three years of their NFL career. If Addison meets expectations, the Vikings could have the leagueâs best receiving duo.
Itâs highly unlikely that the Vikings will end up with the top pick in next yearâs draft. Minnesota is the reining NFC North champion. Kirk Cousins has never won fewer than seven games in five seasons with the Vikings.
Cousins only has one playoff win in Minnesota. If that doesnât change next season, the Vikings could draft his replacement, whether or not Williams is still on the board when Minnesota is ready to make its first-round pick.
