Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison said he will "own up to everything" when he meets with the NFL regarding potential punishment for his DUI arrest.

"Whatever's out there for me, whatever comes with it, I'll own up to everything. I feel like anything that comes my way is meant to happen or is deserved," Addison told reporters Wednesday.

Addison was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of DUI in Los Angeles. According to investigators, Addison was found asleep behind the wheel near Los Angeles International Airport.

The police report did not include a measurement of Addison's blood alcohol content. Addison said the arrest put him in a "dark place" but found support from teammates and coaches.

"I was surprised by the support that I received," Addison said. "I didn't think it was going to be how it was, but it was really important. I was in the dark place. I was feeling down, and they really uplifted me, uplifted me to come out here and just perform at a high level still. So, through everything that's going on, I'm going to put it behind me and I'm still going to perform at a high level, come out here give the fans what they pay for."

Addison recorded 70 receptions for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2023. He ranked among the best rookie wideouts in every category, emerging as a potentially elite one-two threat with Pro Bowler Justin Jefferson.

The NFL has a standard three-game suspension for players who are convicted of driving under the influence.
