The Minnesota Vikings' first-round pick is not off to a great start in his professional career. With camp set to start in less than a week, this is not a good look.
Reportedly, the former Pitt and USC WR was caught by the Minnesota State Patrol going over 140 miles per hour in a Lamborghini, Sports Illustrated's Bill Enright broke the news on Twitter, using the Minnesota State Patrol as his source.
The Vikings had taken Addison as the 23rd overall pick in April's draft and are hoping that the combination of Justin Jefferson and Addison will be a game-changer for their already stout offense.
Addison joins the team after winning the Biletnikoff award in 2021, pairing up with now Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Picket by bringing in 100 passes for 1,593 yards and 17 touchdowns. More recently, he transferred to USC. While he saw a downtick in production, finishing with 908 yards and 8 total touchdowns, he was one of the best receivers in all of college sports.
Second-year head coach Kevin O'Connell and the entire front office cannot be happy with the latest development as the team is looking to bounce back from an earlier-than-desired playoff exit last season.
Addison has his entire career ahead of him, hopefully this is just a wake-up call and he can get back on the right path.
