"Addison has been a productive receiver opposite Justin Jefferson through the first three seasons of his career. Among receivers from the 2023 draft class, he ranks first in touchdown receptions (22), fifth in catches (175) and fifth in yards per game (52.1)."
"In July 2023, Addison was cited for driving 140 mph on a Minnesota freeway. He agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor speeding charge, with a charge of reckless driving dismissed."
"Ultimately, he pleaded no contest to what is colloquially known as a 'wet reckless' charge. In California, where Addison was cited, that meant he pleaded no contest to reckless driving with the involvement of alcohol."
The Minnesota Vikings confirmed they will exercise the fifth-year option on receiver Jordan Addison's contract, securing him through the 2027 season. Addison, the No. 23 pick in the 2023 draft, has shown productivity, ranking first in touchdown receptions among his draft class. However, his career has been marred by multiple police encounters, including a DUI arrest and a speeding citation. Despite these issues, the team views him as an important impact player, though a contract extension may be complicated by his off-field behavior.
