NFL suspends Vikings' Jordan Addison for three games over DUI case
Addison, the 23rd pick of the 2023 draft, has 19 touchdowns and 1,786 receiving yards in his first two seasons to form a dominant duo with two-time All-Pro Justin Jefferson. But he was arrested for excessive speeding the week before training camp of his rookie year, and the drunken driving arrest last offseason came after another dangerous off-the-field decision. Addison was contrite and remorseful upon reporting to training camp last year, praising the Vikings for their support after he said he was in a 'dark place' after the arrest. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Without Addison for the first three games, new starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy will need to lean on depth wide receivers such as Jalen Nailor, rookie Tai Felton, and newcomer Rondale Moore if he's ready to play following his ACL rehabilitation. Tight ends T.J. Hockenson and Josh Oliver and running back Aaron Jones also figure to be vital options during Addison's absence to help keep defenses from keying more heavily on Jefferson than they already do. Advertisement Addison, who finished his college career at USC after starting at Pittsburgh, matched Odell Beckham Jr. for the fourth-most touchdown receptions in league history by players before their 23rd birthday. Randy Moss (28), Rob Gronkowski (27), and Ja'Marr Chase (22) were the only ones with more. Advertisement

Yes, when Purdue's Michael Jackson reached the end zone, you'll see some dance moves
WEST LAFAYETTE — It could be a thriller of a season for Purdue football. That is, if Michael Jackson III is a constant in the end zone. Among the Boilermakers' offseason roster overhaul was Jackson, a fifth-year senior receiver who spent three seasons at USC before playing at Georgia a year ago. Re-live Purdue's run to the Final Four Long ago, he came to terms with his name being the same as the legendary pop icon. "It's just something that doesn't go away," Jackson said after Purdue's football practice on Tuesday. "I embrace it now. It's cool for me to share a name with a legend." Two seasons ago with USC, after catching a touchdown from quarterback Caleb Williams in a win over Nevada, he paid homage to his namesake with a Michael Jackson-esque dance move. He promises more of the same if he finds the end zone with the Boilermakers. "I am trying to practice a few dances," Jackson said. Asked if he'll perform the moonwalk, Jackson said, "of course." Jackson has five career touchdown receptions, with four of those coming during USC's 2022 season. Sam King covers sports for the Journal & Courier.
