It seems only a matter of time until the Falcons move on from Devin Hester and the team is also a few weeks removed from letting Roddy White take his curtain call. At the moment, WRs Nick Williams and Eric Weems are the fourth and fifth receivers on the depth chart. Addison provides return ability as well as a boost in talent over Williams and Weems. In 2015, Addison contributed 805 yards and ten touchdowns as well 11.6 yards per punt return to go along with a TD. The selection of Addison takes care of two holes with one player. A legit returner as well as a more talented option to a growing receiving corps.
