Addison did not immediately address the arrest. He posted several photos of himself at a football camp and then eating lunch.

He just completed his first season with the Vikings after being selected 23rd overall in the first round of the 2023 draft. He had 70 receptions for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns as he received a ton of extra targets due to injuries suffered by Justin Jefferson throughout the season.
