'Every player speeds': Former NFL player Asante Samuel defends Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders amid speeding controversies
Shedeur Sanders (via Getty Images) Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders is in the sights after being cited for two separate speeding infractions in June, calling his maturity and readiness for the NFL into question. But amid the criticism, one-time vocal critic of Deion Sanders and former NFL cornerback Asante Samuel stepped forward to openly defend the young quarterback, saying that Sanders is being targeted simply because of his surname. Shedeur Sanders' off-field problems ignite backlash—and surprising backing The month of June has not been working out well for Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders, but not for anything on the gridiron. Shedeur Sanders was cited twice for two different speeding offenses: once for driving 91 mph in a 65 zone on June 5 and again for going 101 mph in a 60 zone just days after. To make things worse, Shedeur Sanders allegedly failed to show up for the first offense court hearing. But amid all the criticism, there was one voice that emerged in defense of Sanders: ex-NFL Pro Bowl cornerback Asante Samuel. On social media, Asante Samuel delivered a simple refutation of the criticism levied at Shedeur Sanders. "Every player speeds," Asante Samuel wrote. "This is normal athlete behavior, but because his last name is Sanders, the haters want to bring as much negative attention as possible. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cardiologists: Losing a Hanging Tummy Comes Down To This 1 Thing Health Wellness Journal Watch More Undo I never seen a community want to tear a player down like we are witnessing." Asante Defends Shedeur Sanders Verbiage/Terminology Dispute Samuel's comments are especially compelling with his own past public feud with Deion Sanders, Shedeur's father and a Pro Football Hall of Famer. The two had a digital falling out in previous years but have since made amends, making Samuel's speaking out on Shedeur's behalf especially significant. Shedeur Sanders himself has already pushed back against the criticism, admitting his transgressions in an interview at tight end David Njoku's charity softball game. "I made some wrong choices personally, and I can own up to them," Sanders was heard saying on video, per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. "I made some, you know, not great choices… I learned."

It is to be seen how he handles adversity outside the game, which may be just as crucial to his long-term NFL career.

Responding to claims he was clocked at 101 MPH, he appeared unfazed. On his own channel on the platform, the player admitted, 'I've made some wrong choices, I can own up to it - I learn from them.' Earlier this week, Sanders was cited for speeding while driving a Dodge TRX truck on a suburban Cleveland highway. According to reports, Strongsville Police pulled him over around 12:30 AM on Interstate 71, where he was allegedly driving well above the 60 MPH speed limit near the Ohio Turnpike, as reported by Marca. He faces a minimum fine of $250 for the incident, which police classify as a fourth-degree misdemeanor. However, this wasn't his first run-in with speeding laws—he was reportedly stopped earlier this month as well.

Court records also show that he failed to appear for a scheduled hearing on the matter this past Monday. Peter John-Baptiste, who is the spokesperson for Browns, told AP that "the team has directly addressed the fines with Sanders, and he will handle them appropriately." The two ticket incidents in such a short span raised several eyebrows against Sanders in Cleveland.

'Could've killed someone': Fans slam Shedeur Sanders over speeding apology and courtroom no-show
IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders finally addressed his two recent speeding violations and while he said the right words, many fans say he didn't mean them. Shedeur isn't just Deion Sanders' son, he's the presumed QB of the future in Cleveland and already a high-profile rookie. But this string of off-field issues, combined with how he handles them in public, could shape how fans and media view him early in his career. Browns QB Shedeur Sanders under fire for laughing during apology over reckless driving The speeding alone was a warning. The second ticket, the court no-show, and now a half-smiled apology? That's starting to look like a pattern. In a clip that surfaced Thursday night, Shedeur said: 'I've made some wrong choices, I can own up to it — I learn from them.' On paper, it's accountability. But the tone, complete with a casual laugh and a smirk had social media calling him out immediately. The vibe? Less 'I'm sorry,' more 'whatever.' Back-to-back violations, no court appearance, and now a PR nightmare Let's rewind: Shedeur was pulled over going 99 mph just last week. Days later, he got another ticket for driving over 100 mph at 12:24 a.m., just outside Cleveland. Reports also say he didn't show up to court for one of the appearances, making fans question whether he really takes any of it seriously. Now that he's finally speaking publicly, fans expected remorse. Instead, they got what many saw as a rehearsed apology with no emotion. Others took it further, saying the apology was empty, and he's coming off like he doesn't understand the seriousness of reckless driving. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Поза во сне может многое рассказать о вашем характере!

Everyone makes mistakes, especially young players under pressure. But NFL fans are ruthless, and once they feel like someone isn't taking responsibility, they start sharpening the knives. If Shedeur Sanders wants to win over Cleveland and the league, it's going to take more than a quick soundbite. The apology is step one, the attitude that follows will say more than any words can.
