An incident report by police, posted on social media by multiple reporters, says a state trooper was traveling eastbound on Interstate 94 near Dale Street when the trooper spotted the Urus traveling at 140 mph in a 55 mph zone. 

Addison, 21, and drafted 23rd overall by the Vikings out of USC, was issued a citation for speeding and reckless driving. 

The Vikings said Thursday afternoon they were aware of the situation.

Social media was quick to criticize Addison, suggesting he should have learned from the Henry Ruggs situation.

Ruggs was a first-round pick by the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020. In his second season with the team, Ruggs was involved in an accident that killed a woman while he was allegedly driving 156 mph and under the influence.

The 6-foot, 175-pound Addison was a standout at USC last season with 875 yards and eight touchdowns over 11 games. He
