The 21-year-old first-round pick was cited shortly after 3 a.m. on eastbound I-94 near the Dale Street exit in St. Paul, the patrol said in a news release.
He was the lone occupant of a Lamborghini Urus SUV. The release says the investigation remains open.
Addison's address was listed as Frederick, Md., where he went to high school. He started his college career at Pittsburgh, but transferred to Southern California before last season. He was the 23rd overall selection in the 2023 draft.
He has not practiced with the Vikings because of an undisclosed injury suffered during rookie minicamp. Coach Kevin O'Connell said after the team's mandatory minicamp in June that he expects Addison to be a full participant in training camp; rookies report Sunday to TCO Performance Center in Eagan.
Addison will be on a four-year contract worth $13.7 million, all guaranteed, that includes a $7 million signing bonus. The base price for a Lamborghini Urus is around $235,000, according to Car and Driver.
The Vikings issued this statement: "We are aware of last night's traffic incident involving Jordan Addison and are gathering additional information."
Mike Conley was in Minneapolis, where he sounded the Gjallarhorn at the Vikings game, on Sunday during the robbery.
