Vikings receiver Jordan Addison said he was driving 140 mph last week because his dog was having an emergency at home, according to a citation filed Monday with the Ramsey County District Court and reviewed by ESPN.

The updated citation included misdemeanor charges for speeding and reckless driving. A description of the incident issued by the Minnesota State Patrol notes that Addison “stated his dog was having an emergency at his residence and that was the reason for his speed.”

Addison, 21, the No. 23 overall pick of the 2023 draft, issued a public apology a day later, saying he “made a mistake and used poor judgment.” He also promised “not to repeat the behavior” but did not say anything about his dog’s emergency.
