Vikings rookie WR Jordan Addison is cited for driving ‘140 mph in a 55-mph zone at 3am’ in his Lamborghini a week before his first NFL training camp

Minnesota Vikings rookie Jordan Addison was cited by state troopers for driving 140 mph in 55-mph zone in his Lamborghini early Thursday morning.

‘We are aware of last night’s traffic incident involving Jordan Addison and are gathering additional information,’ the team said in a statement.

Addison, 21, was allegedly pulled over around 3am in St. Paul.

‘Just after 3am, early Thursday morning, a Minnesota State Patrol trooper was traveling eastbound on Interstate 94 near Dale Street when they observed a driver in a Lamborghini Urus traveling 140 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone,’ read a Minnesota State Patrol statement provided to DailyMail.com. 

‘The trooper made a traffic stop on the Lamborghini and identified the driver as Jordan Addison, 21, of Frederick, Maryland. Addison was issued a citation by the Minnesota State Patrol for speed and reckless driving.’

Addison is expected to start this season opposite All-Pro receiver Justin Jefferson, but has battled a mysterious, undisclosed injury since being drafted out of USC in the first round of April’s draft. 

‘We’re being overly cautious with him right now,’ Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell said during minicamp. ‘Something that popped up toward the end of rookie minicamp. Nothing serious at all. Kind of a day-to-day thing that we’re working through.’

Addison caught 100 passes for 1,593 and 17 touchdowns for Pittsburgh in 2021 and then transferred to USC in 2022, recording 59 catches for 875 yards and eight scores.

Safe driving is a major concern for the NFL following ex-Raiders receiver Henry Ruggs III’s car crash in Las Vegas, which killed 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog.

In May, Ruggs pleaded guilty to driving his sports car while drunk at speeds up to 156 mph before causing a fiery crash.

“Guilty,” said the former first-round NFL draft pick, 24, who will avoid trial and is expected to be sentenced August 9 to three to 10 years in state prison under terms of his plea deal with prosecutors.

The minimum three-year sentence cannot be reduced by converting the year-and-a-half that he has spent on house arrest to time already served.

Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson cited possible legal obstacles to obtaining a conviction at trial, said he met several times with relatives of the woman who died, and said the plea agreement with Ruggs “accomplished our three most important goals.”

Ruggs was convicted of felony DUI causing death, will go to prison, and won´t be able to appeal his conviction and sentence, the elected district attorney, a Democrat, said in a lengthy written statement. “When someone dies as the result of a drunk driver´s actions, this is the most serious charge the law allows.”

Ruggs declined to comment as he and a group of about nine people left the courthouse following his brief court appearance. He remains free pending sentencing.
