Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison was cited early Thursday morning for driving 140 miles per hour in a 55 miles per hour zone, according to Minnesota State Patrol.
ESPNreportedthat Addison was cited specifically for speeding and reckless driving.
“We are aware of last night’s traffic incident involving Jordan Addison and are gathering additional information,” the team said in a statement to ESPN.
Addison has sat out most of Vikings’ rookie training camp across May and June with an undisclosed injury, however ESPN reported he was expected to compete for a starting role once the team’s general training camp begins next week.
The outlet reported that speeding citations in Minnesota for incidents over 100 miles per hour can result in a driver having their license revoked for at least six months.
