The publication cited a report filed with the Ramsey County District Court on Monday and said the first-round draft pick is facing charges of speeding and reckless driving.

The Vikings commented, “We are aware of last night’s traffic incident involving Jordan Addison and are gathering additional information."

Addison was selected by Minnesota as the No. 23 overall pick in this spring's draft. He joins offensive player of the year Justin Jefferson in the wide receiver corps.
