Addison didn’t immediately address the arrest. He posted several photos of himself at a football camp and then having lunch.
He just completed his first season with the Vikings after being taken No. 23 overall in the first round of the 2023 draft. He had 70 catches for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns as he received a ton of extra targets due to the injuries Justin Jefferson suffered throughout the season.
