Minnesota Vikings first-round pick, Jordan Addison, was cited for speeding and reckless driving earlier this week after going 140 mph on a freeway in St. Paul, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.
A state trooper stopped Jordan Addison on Interstate 94 near Dale Street just after 3 a.m., the patrol said, after observing Addison going 140 mph, or 85 mph over the speed limit, in a Lamborghini.
A video was also captured showing Addison speeding down the freeway before being chased down by the police officer.
Addison released this statement after the incident went public, apologizing for his mistake:
The Vikings took Addison with the 23rd pick in April’s NFL draft. Across three seasons at Pitt and USC, Addison totaled 219 catches for 3,134 receiving yards and 29 touchdowns.
The 2021 Biletnikoff Award winner for the nation’s top wide receiver at Pittsburgh, Addison transferred to USC for his final college season. He had 59 catches for 875 yards and eight touchdowns in 2022 for the Trojans. In two years with the Panthers, Addison had 2,259 receiving yards.
Addison took part in rookie minicamp with the Vikings but was just an observer for most of the on-field offseason practices in May and June because of an undisclosed injury.
The Vikings’ training camp is scheduled to start July 29.
