(ABC 6 News) – Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver, Jordan Addison, was cited for speed and reckless driving early Thursday morning, according to the Minnesota State Patrol (MSP).
The MSP said just after 3:00 a.m., a trooper was traveling eastbound on I-94 near Dale Street when they observed a driver in a Lamborghini Urus traveling 140 mph in a 55 mph zone.
The trooper made a traffic stop and identified the driver as Jordan Addison, 21, from Frederick, Maryland. Addison was issued a citation for speeding and reckless driving.
Addison — a wide receiver out of USC — was the Vikings’ top pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
It comes a month after Vikings player Oli Udoh, was cited on two different days for speeding, and a third for reckless driving.
