Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison was cited for reckless driving Thursday morning, according to a Minnesota State Patrol report obtained by KSTP-TV. The 21-year-old was selected in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft with the 23rd overall pick in April. "We are aware of last night's traffic incident involving Jordan Addison and are gathering additional information," the Vikings said in a statement via ESPN. Addison was pulled over by State Highway Patrol at 3:07 a.m. Thursday while driving his Lamborghini Urus on Interstate 94 in St. Paul. He was going 140 mph in a 55 mph zone headed eastbound, 85 mph over the speed limit. He was not arrested, and the investigation remains open. Addison signed his rookie deal in May, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, a four-year deal worth $13.73 million and a fifth-year option. He became a top prospect through three strong seasons at USC and Pittsburgh between 2020 and 2022. During his single season in Southern California, Addison recorded 59 receptions for 875 yards and eight touchdowns in 11 games. Before that, he played two seasons for the Panthers. He had a breakout year in 2021, when he recorded 100 catches for 1,593 yards and 17 touchdowns, earning All-American honors and the Fred Biletnikoff Award. Anticipated to compete for a starting role in Minnesota, Addison missed most of OTAs and mandatory minicamp this offseason due to an unspecified injury. “We’re being overly cautious with him right now,” head coach Kevin O'Connell said in May. “Something that popped up toward the end of rookie minicamp. Nothing serious at all. Kind of a day-to-day thing that we’re working through.” Vikings rookies are expected to report to training camp Sunday.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
