With just a couple weeks before the Minnesota Vikings embark on their training camp, Jordan Addison has found himself in fresh trouble. The Police arrested the 22-year-old wide receiver for alleged suspicion of DUI.
Addison had a remarkable rookie year with the Vikings, securing his place alongside Justin Jefferson. However, unlike the highest-paid playmaker, Addison tends to attract unnecessary trouble.
Daily News reported that on Friday, July 12, around 11:36 pm, the cops saw a Rolls Royce blocking lane number one in the freeway near LAX airport. When the officers went for a closer look, they found Addison fast asleep at the wheel.
After shaking him up from his beauty sleep, they asked the ex-USC player a few questions. Without finding any cohesive answer, they arrested Addison on suspicion of being drunk. He was released after two hours.

A few days ago Addison became the talk of the internet when teammate Khyree Johnson died in a car accident. Just a day before the unfortunate incident, he posted a comment reminding football fans that Johnson was a great player.
Jordan Addison must learn from his past mistakes
This recent run-in wasn’t Addison’s first rodeo with the police. Before his first training camp with the Vikings as a rookie, he ended up in jail for driving a Lamborghini over 140 miles per hour in the city streets.

To make such frequent mistakes and that too after hearing one of your teammates perish in a road accident, is foolish. This sets a bad example for future generations especially in the age of social media because there’s barely anything hidden from the eyes and ears of the youth.
