College football power rankings: Top 15 wide receivers for the 2022 season

Jordan Addison was 2 Legit 2 stay at Pitt, so now he has gone Hollywood at USC

Jordan Addison made a bold choice to leave Pitt after his breakout season for the Panthers. With Kenny Pickett throwing him the ball in Mark Whipple’s offense, Addison recognized that both men were gone from the Pitt equation and decided to get out of Dodge for “greener” pastures. Yes, the reigning Biletnikoff winner went all Hollywood to join up with Lincoln Riley and his USC Trojans.

From an NFL Draft stock standpoint, you can’t blame him. Pitt is a massive regression candidate and USC is certainly on the upswing. He goes from one NFL passer to another in Caleb Williams. Addison will also play in the same receiving corps as Mario Williams also coming over from OU. Of course, it remains to be seen how feisty USC will be in the trenches on either side of the football.

USC should be one of the better teams in the Pac-12 this season, possibly winning the conference.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba has to be the runaway favorite to win the Biletnikoff

Now, we can finally turn our attention to the best wide receiver in college football. Addison and others may have an argument to make, and they have all season long to prove me and everybody else wrong, but Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the guy to watch this season. He is the runaway favorite to win the Biletnikoff. With C.J. Stroud throwing him the ball, Ohio State should win the Big Ten easily.

Smith-Njigba is not alone in the Ohio State receiving corps, but he looks to be a future first-rounder like Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson were off last year’s team. What he did in the Rose Bowl vs. Utah only added to the growing legend of Smith-Njigba. The hype surrounding him this season is off the charts, but it doesn’t really compare to the type of receiver he is for Ohio State.

Look for Smith-Njigba to play a massive part in Ohio State getting to the national championship.
