In an article titled "Ten Players that Helped Themselves by Transferring" Gorney includes Jordan Addison, stating how "After two phenomenal seasons at Pitt including a sophomore year where he was completely unstoppable, it’s not clear that Addison needed to transfer to improve his draft stock. But it certainly didn’t hurt to get more exposure at USC." He then goes on to show how Addison had half the production at USC than he had at Pitt, and fell to the fourth WR taken in the draft...clearly not helping his draft stock.
Now, I'm not saying that Addison tanked his draft stock by transferring to USC, but there is no evidence that he improved his draft stock by going to USC, and the stats included clearly show that. Every other player in the article clearly was more successful at their new destination, except Addison. If the title was different, such as "Impacts of transferring on 10 NFL draft picks" or something that makes sense, but its pretty clear anti-Pitt bias from Gorney to include Addison on that list. End Rant.
