Vikings star Jordan Addison stands trial for DUI a year after cops 'found him sleeping behind wheel at LAX'

Minnesota Vikings receiver Jordan Addison’s drunk-driving trial is underway in Los Angeles, where the former USC star is accused of operating a vehicle with a blood-alcohol level great than 0.08-percent.

Police say they found Addison asleep behind the wheel of a Rolls Royce near Los Angeles International Airport on July 12, 2024.

He could face a fine or potentially lose his license if convicted on the misdemeanor charge. A short prison term is also a possibility but considered unlikely. Furthermore, Addison is subject to the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

Daily Mail has reached out to his attorney for an update on Tuesday’s proceedings.

Addison has pleaded guilty in the case, but previously seemed ready to accept the consequences of his actions.

‘Whatever’s out there for me, whatever comes with it, I’ll own up to everything,’ he said at training camp last season. ‘I feel like anything that comes my way is meant to happen or is deserved.’

Addison is being counted on to draw defenders away from his All-Pro teammate, wide receiver Justin Jefferson, as Vikings second-year quarterback JJ McCarthy moves into a starting role this season.

Minnesota’s offense ranked ninth in points and 12th in yards last season with Sam Darnold under center, but he has since signed in Seattle, leaving McCarthy to shoulder the load with the Vikings in 2025.

Addison began his college career at Pittsburgh, where he won the Fred Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s top receiver before transferring to USC. Over two NFL seasons, he has recorded an impressive 133 catches on 207 targets for 1,786 yards and 19 touchdowns.

To bolster their depth chat at the position, the Vikings added 5-foot-7 slot receiver Rondale Moore and rookie third-round pick Tai Felton, who is coming off a 1,124-yard season at Maryland.

Minnesota opens its season September 8 against the rival Chicago Bears in Minneapolis.
