Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has committed some strange activity on social media following news of his arrest.
Per ESPN’s Kevin Seifert, Jordan Addison was arrested on Friday close to the Los Angeles International for suspicion of DUI. An officer found the second-year wideout asleep in his car, and he spent three hours in custody before authorities released him.
Several fans on X/Twitter, including ML Football, noticed that Addison has removed all Minnesota Vikings-related Instagram posts from his account:

Last summer, Jordan Addison pleaded guilty to speeding in a July incident after receiving a citation. By pleading guilty, his reckless driving charge was dropped, and Addison paid $686 in fines.
The Vikings drafted the USC product in the first round (23rd overall) in 2023 after releasing fan favorite Adam Thielen. Addison emerged as the Vikings No. 2 wideout behind Justin Jefferson, hauling in 70 receptions for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Addison’s 10 receiving scores were tied with Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta for most among rookies. Only Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua (1,486) and Kansas City Chiefs standout Rashee Rice (938) had more receiving yards among first-year players than Addison.
Vikings Need Jordan Addison To Learn & Grow From This
It’s unfortunate that Addison put several lives (including his own) in danger by driving when he wasn’t in the right state to do so. His arrest came less than a week after rookie teammate Khyree Jackson and two friends, AJ Lytton Jr. and Isaiah Hazel, were tragically killed in a car accident.
One would have hoped that Addison learned his lesson following the driving citation for speeding a year ago. Sadly, the second-year wideout has not done so.
That’s two driving-related offenses for Jordan Addison now in less than one year. Here’s hoping he’ll learn from the second offense and never do something so reckless and dangerous like this again.

‘Good Morning Football’ is returning to television with the promise of “more content than ever.”
The show has relocated to California ahead of the 2024 NFL season and will return to the air on Monday, July 29, following a lengthy hiatus.
“Good Morning Football is officially set to return with more content than ever, only this time on a new coast,” NFL.com reported Monday morning.
“The Emmy-winning morning show will relaunch on Monday, July 29, from its new home at NFL Network’s studios in Inglewood, Calif., and will air from 8-10 a.m. ET Monday through Friday.”
The show will be joined by another program branded ‘GMFB: Overtime,’ which will run for two hours on weekdays, from 10 AM to noon ET. The latter will premier on the same date and will also stream for free on the Roku Channel. It’s expected to branch out into syndication on various local stations by Monday, September 2.
“Not only are we bringing back a show that so many fans have woken up to and loved for years, we are giving it a state-of-the-art new home with even more resources and space for our talent to showcase their signature segments and fun takes on the game of football,” NFL Media vice president of original content and entertainment Angela Ellis said.
