Jordan Addison quickly became a fan favorite in Minnesota, but he had a rather eventful offseason.

Earlier this month, the Vikings wide receiver was arrested on suspicion of DUI near Los Angeles International Airport.

Addison was allegedly found asleep behind the wheel of a vehicle on Interstate 105, the Los Angeles Daily News reported Sunday, citing an arrest report. Responding officers found a white Rolls-Royce blocking one lane "with the driver asleep behind the wheel," according to the report.

It wasn't Addison's first incident behind the wheel. Before training camp last year, Addison allegedly drove 140 mph in a 55 mph zone in a Lamborghini.

Addison apologized for that incident, but he said this most recent one put him in a "dark place."

However, he says the support he received got him through it.

"I didn't think it was going to be how it was, but it was really important. I was in the 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," Addison said at training camp on Wednesday. "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."
