Minnesota Vikings rookie receiver Jordan Addison says a dog emergency was the reason he was caught driving 140 mph last week ahead of training camp.
The 21-year-old, drafted 23rd overall by the Vikings out of USC, dealt with social media criticism as NFL fans suggested it was comparative to former Las Vegas Raiders receiver Henry Ruggs’ situation.
Ruggs was involved in a crash that killed a woman while he was allegedly driving 156 mph and under the influence in 2021. Ruggs was in his second season with the team. Jaxon Smith-Nijgba , Quentin Johnston and Zay Flowers went before him. However, experts say Addison could have the most immediate impact on his team. He will replace Adam Thielen, who had 107 targets last year. Minnesota cut the veteran receiver in the offseason.
