Vikings ‘incredibly pissed off’ by Jordan Addison’s Arrest

Jordan Addison’s recent arrest has left Vikings personnel upset.

Addison was arrested on suspicion of DUI in L.A. on Friday night after falling asleep behind the wheel of his car and blocking a lane of traffic. It’s the second driving incident for the 22-year-old receiver in as many years, as he was cited for driving 140 MPH in Minnesota last summer. It also came one week after his teammate, rookie Khyree Jackson, was killed in a car crash in Maryland that police said may have involved alcohol.

“I can promise you, there are many people with the Vikings (who are) incredibly pissed off,” said KSTP’s Darren Wolfson on SKOR North.

The Addison situation has to be very disappointing to the team for a number of reasons, beyond it being his second incident and coming in the wake of Jackson’s tragic passing. The NFL and the Vikings both provide significant education and resources to players when it comes to these things. There are all kinds of services they can call to avoid driving under the influence.

Wolfson also noted that “a likely suspension is coming” for Addison from either the team or the league. That makes sense, considering it’s his second incident in as many years. The severity of that suspension could depend on the details of Addison’s arrest, which have not yet become available.
