Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison was cited for driving 140 mph in a 55 mph zone Thursday in Minnesota.
Addison apologized for the incident Friday in a statement through his agent:

"We are aware of last night's traffic incident involving Jordan Addison and are gathering additional information," the Vikings said in a statement.
According to an incident report from the Minnesota State Patrol, Addison was pulled over for speeding and reckless driving at around 3 a.m. He was not arrested.
The No. 23 pick in April's NFL draft, Addison could face discipline from the Vikings or the league office if he's convicted of a crime.
Any punishment handed down is unlikely to have a significant impact on Addison's rookie season.
Addison is scheduled to report to training camp Sunday along with the remainder of the Vikings' rookie group. He is expected to compete for a starting spot on the roster during camp as the team looks to replace Adam Thielen, who signed with the Carolina Panthers this offseason.
The 22-year-old split his collegiate career with Pitt and USC, compiling 219 receptions for 3,134 yards and 29 touchdowns. He missed most of the Vikings' offseason program while dealing with an injury.
