Minnesota Vikings receiver Jordan Addison has been extremely productive since entering the league in 2023. However, the former first-round pick has also had his fair share of legal troubles.

Addison's jury trial will begin on Tuesday for a DUI incident that occurred in July 2024. NFL analyst Kevin Seifert noted that Addison has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.

In two seasons, Addison has racked up 133 receptions for 1786 yards and 19 touchdowns.

What we know about the Jordan Addison DUI incident

At this time, it is unclear what the exact fallout will be for Addison regarding his ongoing DUI case.

Addison was accused of driving under the influence last July. He was found to be asleep at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) while still at the wheel. According to reports, Addison was blocking a lane of traffic near the airport at 11:36 p.m. PT. As noted by NBC NFL insider Mike Florio, Addison was found to be "driving with a blood-alcohol concentration in excess of the legal limit of .08 percent."

He was released from custody shortly afterwards and pleaded non guilty.

According to Florio, Addison's charges are considered misdemeanors and he could face a three-game suspension if found guilty.
