Historic nightmare: Worst day of my life” Vikings Jordan Addison Makes First official” Statement After DUI” Arrest’ here are his direct words…
To put it mildly, the Minnesota Vikings’ 2024 off-season has not been easy. Just a few months ago, many still believed that Kirk Cousins was the Vikings’ quarterback of the future. With JJ McCarthy’s season-ending surgery behind him, Sam Darnold will lead the Vikings into week one and beyond starting today.
Jordan Addison has also garnered some, not so desirable, attention this off-season. This week, he spoke to reporters for the first time since he was arrested for a DUI.

“I was surprised by the support that I received,” Addison said after the first day of training camp on July 24, per ESPN. “I didn’t think it was going to be how it was, but it was really important. I was in a dark place. I was feeling down, and they really uplifted me, uplifted me to come out here and just perform at a high level still.
So through everything that’s going on, I’m going to put it behind me and I’m still going to perform at a high level, come out here give the fans what they pay for.
Whatever’s out there for me,” he added, “whatever comes with it, I’ll own up to everything. I feel like anything that comes my way is meant to happen or is deserved.”
Addison’s future with the Vikings, and possibly the NFL, could come under question if these off the field issues don’t end. The 22-year-old wide receiver has shown he has the ability to be great in this league.
