Earlier this month, Minnesota Vikings young star wide receiver Jordan Addison was arrested for driving under the influence, and it sounds like the team was not too happy with him.
During his press conference this week, Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell expressed his disappointment with the young wide receiver for making the choices that resulted in the DUI and put others at risk.
“We’re disappointed in Jordan,” O’Connell said during his press conference according to Pro Football Talk. “We care about these players, we really do. We want to make sure we’re doing our part for the development on the field. The other aspect of that is the off the field, the life skills, and the development of decision making and learning how important it is within our culture — which we’re very proud of — that our players understand personal responsibility and accountability.”
Addison is currently facing legal issues as well as potential punishment from the league as a result of the arrest, and it sounds like O’Connell and the team are just going to wait and see how that all transpires.
“We’ll let those things happen and work off that accordingly,” O’Connell said during the press conference.
