Jordan Addison is reflecting on his recent run-in with the law. The Minnesota Vikings wide receiver hinted at such by making slight alterations in one of his various social media accounts.
Dov Kleiman noticed that Addison’s Instagram account had some changes. Instead of keeping his own photo, the 22-year-old changed it into a diagram, which gave a sneak peek at his present state of mind.
Addison uploaded a photo that included ‘Win’ and ‘Lessons’ as two aspects of a person’s life that run side by side. Perhaps through it, he aimed to convey learning from his past mistakes that led to jail time.

Why did Jordan Addison get arrested?
Following his blistering rookie season with the Vikings, Jordan Addison became a fan favorite of the Skol. However, even in his highs as a football player, there remains a side that occasionally creates problems for himself.
Last Friday, the police found Addison’s Rolls Royce blocking a section of the highway leading to the Los Angeles airport, LAX, around 11:30 p.m. When they leaned in to check on him, they found the second-year receiver fast asleep at the wheel.
They did not find any substance near him but concluded that he was under the influence of alcohol, which was the reason behind his sudden slumber. At midnight, the cops arrested Addison and took him to the nearest station, but released him after just two hours.
A Vikings spokesperson told ESPN about keeping tabs on the matter and would inform if there were any new developments. Well, one can assume that changing the profile photo on his Instagram handle could be one such development or the right step toward improvement.
Addison needs to change because he may be a great football player, but frequent encounters with the cops don’t send a good message, especially to the youth who look up to him. This was his second offense in a matter of a year.
Before the start of his rookie training camp, the USC graduate ended up in jail for road rage. He was caught by the police after flying with his Lamborghini at 140 miles per hour in a 55-mph zone. They let him go because, unlike in the case of teammate Khyree Jackson, there were no casualties. After pleading guilty, the police let him leave by fining him $686.
Jordan Addison was the Vikings’ second-best receiver behind Justin Jefferson in 2023. In 17 games, he caught 70 passes for 911 yards and scored 10 touchdowns.
