Former USC Wide Receiver Jordan Addison Cited For Reckless Driving

Not what you want to hear regarding USC's former star player

The USC Trojans have produced a ton of great talent that has gone on to flourish in the NFL. One of the players they currently sent off to the NFL is wide receiver, Jordan Addison. 

Addison is now representing the Minnesota Vikings, and this will be his first season in the NFL; however, it is not off to a good start. 

According to multiple reports, Addison was cited this morning for speed and reckless driving after an officer clocked him for driving 140 MPH in a 50-mile speed zone on the freeway.

He was stopped out in St. Paul, and luckily he was not arrested. 

However, the Vikings released a statement saying they will take a look into the incident. 

"We are aware of last night's traffic incident involving Jordan Addison and are gathering additional information."

The No. 23rd pick in this year's NFL Draft spent one season at USC and put up some great numbers for the Trojans. He caught for eight touchdowns, snagged 59 receptions, and racked up 875 yards. 

This is not the start we all hoped for Addison, but hopefully, he learns from this and doesn't get into trouble again. 

The Vikings are set to report to training camp on Sunday, and we'll see if the team allows Addison will join his teammates by then.
