Mekhi Blackmon knows Jordan Addisons game inside out. And he says Minnesota Vikings fans are in for a crazy time as he lines up alongside superstar receiver Justin Jefferson.

Blackmon and Addison were teammates at USC last year - and after the wide receiver headed to Minnesota with the No 23 overall pick of the draft, cornerback Blackmon followed as the last pick in the third round.

After a strong training camp - which began with a highlight-reel catch in week one - Addison will start the season in tandem with Jefferson and KJ Osborn as the Vikings look to take another leap in year two of Kevin OConnells offense.
