Jordan Addison, the Minnesota Vikings wide receiver, recently opened up about his struggles following a DUI arrest near Los Angeles International Airport earlier this month. In a report by the Los Angeles Daily News, it was mentioned that Addison was found asleep behind the wheel of a vehicle on Interstate 105, causing a white Rolls-Royce to block one lane. This was not Addison’s first incident behind the wheel, as he was previously caught driving 140 mph in a 55 mph zone in a Lamborghini before training camp last year.
Despite the challenges he faced, Addison expressed gratitude for the support he received during this difficult time. He mentioned that the encouragement from his fans and teammates helped him overcome the situation and motivated him to continue performing at a high level. Addison acknowledged his mistakes and emphasized his commitment to moving forward and focusing on his performance on the field.
Having completed his first season with the Vikings, Addison had an impressive performance with 70 catches for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns. With T.J. Hockenson set to start the season on the PUP list due to a torn ACL, Addison is expected to receive additional targets this season. The Vikings also drafted J.J. McCarthy as the 10th overall pick, setting up a quarterback competition between McCarthy and Sam Darnold in training camp.
As Addison reflects on his past actions and looks ahead to the upcoming season, he remains determined to take responsibility for his mistakes and continue to deliver strong performances on the field. The support and encouragement he has received have played a crucial role in helping him navigate through challenging times and stay focused on his goals. With a renewed sense of determination and commitment, Addison is ready to embrace the opportunities and challenges that come his way in the upcoming season.
