MINNESOTA Vikings star wide receiver Jordan Addison received a final punishment decision concerning his 2024 DUI case.<\/p>\n

The former first-round pick’s punishment isn’t done, however, as he’ll also have to wait for an NFL<\/a> disciplinary verdict.<\/p>\n

Addison was given a punishment decision over his 2024 DUI case, and the NFL has revealed a statement on the matterCredit: Getty<\/p>\n

Addison was arrested last July<\/a> for driving under the influence of alcohol near Los Angeles International Airport.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the 23-year-old Addison pleaded no contest to a lesser charge to resolve the DUI citation, his attorney said, per ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Addison will plead to what is known as a “wet reckless” charge.<\/p>\n

Since the charge occurred in California, he will plead no contest to reckless driving with the involvement of alcohol.<\/p>\n

So Addison will be placed on probation for 12 months, pay a $390 fine, and complete two online courses.<\/p>\n

The plea agreement does mean, however, that the NFL can hand him discipline.<\/p>\n

“We have been closely monitoring all developments in the matter which remains under review,” the NFL said in a statement Thursday.<\/p>\n

Addison’s plea acknowledging the use of alcohol in a driving incident could result in the NFL star receiving a multi-game suspension due to the league’s policy and program on substance abuse.<\/p>\n

“Absent aggravating circumstances, discipline for a first offense will be a suspension without pay of three regular or postseason games,” the NFL says.<\/p>\n

Addison was found to be asleep at the wheel of a white Rolls-Royce that was blocking “a lane of I-105 westbound near LAX,” per ESPN.<\/p>\n

Heartbreaking 911 call NFL icon John Elway made after tragic golf cart accident that killed his agent is released<\/p>\n

He spoke about the possibility of a suspension last summer.<\/p>\n

“Whatever’s out there for me, 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 said.<\/p>\n

Addison was also arrested in 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He was involved in an incident after being caught speeding down a Minnesota highway.<\/p>\n

Addison was charged with speeding and reckless driving after driving 140 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone.<\/p>\n

He claimed he was rushing because his dog was having an emergency.<\/p>\n

The USC product recorded 63 receptions for 875 yards and nine touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Addison and the Vikings will begin training camp on Tuesday, with the 2025 season approaching.<\/p>\n
