Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanor DUI charges on Tuesday, based on a review of Superior Court of California online records.
Addison has a pretrial conference hearing set for Jan. 9. The Vikings’ first-round draft pick in 2023 (No. 23 overall), was arrested on July 12 near Los Angeles International Airport.
The 23-year-old was found asleep at the wheel of a white Rolls-Royce by a West Los Angeles police officer and was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. Addison, whose car was blocking a lane of I-105 westbound near the airport, was also charged with driving with .08 percent blood alcohol content.
Addison could be suspended by the NFL once the case is settled.
In 10 games this season, Addison has 36 catches for 575 yards and four touchdowns and also has a rushing score. In 27 games, he has caught 14 touchdowns on 106 catches and totaled 1,486 receiving yards.
The Vikings are in the thick of the playoff hunt at 10-2, one game behind the first-place Detroit Lions in the NFC North. They host the Atlanta Falcons (6-6) on Sunday.
