Another Vikings Player is Off-the-Field
According to an article published in CBS News, another player will be off-the-field because rookie wide receiver Jorda Addison was cited for overspeeding and reckless driving last week. He was driving at a speed of 140 MPH in a 55-MPH zone.
Addison released a statement saying, “Yesterday morning I made a mistake and used poor judgment. I recognize and own that. I am going to learn from this and not repeat the behavior. I am truly sorry,” He apologized to the fans and the management of the team.
