Vikings’ Addison said he was driving at 140mph due to ‘dog emergency’

• Wide receiver issued public apology after incident
• Player was 23rd overall pick in this year's draft

Minnesota Vikings first-round draft pick Jordan Addison told the state trooper who clocked him going 140mph in a 55mph zone last week that he was speeding because of an emergency involving his dog.

The Associated Press has obtained an updated copy of the citation issued to Addison and filed with the St Paul city attorney.
