Pittsburgh's Jordan Addison Wins 2021 Biletnikoff Award

Pittsburgh wide receiver Jordan Addison is the winner of the 2021 Biletnikoff Award, which recognizes college football's best receiver in the FBS. Any player who caught a pass during the 2021 campaign was eligible for the honor.

Addison beat out finalists Purdue's David Bell and Alabama's Jameson Williams for the award.

Addison, a sophomore at Pitt, had a breakout season in 2021 with 93 catches for 1,479 yards and 17 touchdowns. The 19-year-old's 17 touchdown receptions led the country, and his 1,479 receiving yards were first among all Power Five receivers.

“As a kid and playing receiver at this level, that’s what every kid’s dream is,” Addison said of the Biletnikoff recognition in November, per the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
