Citing the arrest report, the Daily News
reported the 22-year-old Addison, who played his final
collegiate season at Southern California in 2022, was found
asleep at the wheel of his vehicle, which was blocking the
primary freeway offramp to Los Angeles International Airport,
just after 11 p.m.
A half hour later, California Highway Patrol officers arrested
Addison following a DUI investigation. He was released from
custody shortly after 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning, according to
the report.
"We are aware of Jordan Addison's arrest this past Friday and
are currently gathering more information regarding the
incident," the Vikings said in a statement to multiple outlets.
After being selected 23rd overall in 2023, Addison hauled in 70
passes for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, making the
NFL All-Rookie team.
Last July, before his rookie season, Addison was cited in
Minnesota for speeding and reckless driving after being clocked
going a reported 140 mph.
Eight days ago, Vikings rookie fourth-round pick Khyree Jackson
was one of three people killed in a car crash in Maryland. He
was 24.
