Addison's recent mistake — falling asleep behind the wheel of his car — was a rough one.
in Los Angeles on Friday night after falling asleep behind the wheel of his car and blocking a lane of traffic. It's the second driving incident for the 22-year-old receiver in as many years, as he was cited for driving 140 MPH in Minnesota last summer. It also came one week after his teammate, rookie Khyree Jackson, was killed in a car crash in Maryland that police said may have involved alcohol.
The Addison situation has to be highly disappointing to the organization for a number of reasons, even beyond it being his second incident and coming in the wake of Jackson's tragic passing. The NFL and the Vikings both provide significant education and resources to their players when it comes to these kinds of things. There are all kinds of services they can call to avoid driving under the influence.
Wolfson also noted that "a likely suspension is coming" for Addison from either the team or the league. That makes sense, considering it's his second incident in as many years. The severity of that suspension, which have not yet become available. He was released two hours after being arrested and the initial police report did not include any information about his blood alcohol content.
Addison recently archived all of his Instagram posts in which he's wearing a Vikings uniform, then later brought them back. He also changed his profile picture to an image seemingly acknowledging the incident. As of Tuesday evening, his IG and Twitter/X accounts were fully deactivated.Will Ragatz is the publisher of Inside the Vikings, an SI.com channel in the Fan Nation network.
