Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison's reason for speeding 140 mph in a 55 mph is a surprising one.
FILE - Minnesota Vikings first-round draft pick Jordan Addison speaks to the media during an NFL football press conference in Eagan, Minn., Friday, April 28, 2023. Addison was cited early Thursday, July 20, for speeding and reckless driving, after a state trooper clocked him at 140 mph in his sports car in a 55 mph zone. The Minnesota State Patrol said Addison was pulled over without resistance in a Lamborghini Urus at 3:07 a.m.
The filing also clarified Addison was cited for reckless driving while"consciously disregarding a substantial or unjustifiable risk." Addison issued a statement via his agent, Tim Younger, on Friday but it didn't mention the furry friend. "Yesterday morning I made a mistake and used poor judgment, I recognize and own that. I am going to learn from this and not repeat the behavior. I am truly sorry," the statement read, according to a screenshot from NFL reporter Albert Breer.
