Browns' Shedeur Sanders Should Learn From Myles Garrett's Speeding Accident
Browns' Shedeur Sanders Should Learn From Myles Garrett's Speeding Accident originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Many teams passed on Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL Draft because of how he has acted in the past, but the Cleveland Browns decided to take a chance on him.

And he is not off to the best start that he could be in first year in the league.
The rookie quarterback was cited on Tuesday morning for driving 101 miles per hour in a 60 zone on I-71 in Strongsville, Ohio. This could remind Browns fans of one of their star players a few years ago.
Defensive superstar Myles Garrett was driving with a passenger back in 2022 when he lost control and flipped the car three times. If he had not had his seatbelt on, he could have sustained much more serious injuries than he did, or worse.
This accident came about because Garrett was speeding, which is the seventh time he was cited for driving over the speed limit. He has not been in trouble behind the wheel since then, so Sanders could learn a thing or two from his teammate.

Sanders has a great opportunity in Cleveland with how uncertain the quarterback situation is. The team has five on the roster, but none of them are the solidified starter.
Many think he should at least be the team's QB2 going into the 205 season. If he can learn from his mistakes and slow down on the roads, he could have a very good chance of becoming the Browns' starting quarterback in his rookie season.

Swansea goal is to achieve 'something special'
Richard Montague (left) spoke to various managerial candidates in the spring before Swansea handed a long-term deal to Alan Sheehan (right) [Getty Images] Richard Montague declines to set any specific targets heading into his first full season as Swansea City's director of football. But four months after arriving in Wales – and having got to know his new surroundings – Montague says the ultimate goal is to achieve "something special" in the Championship. Advertisement It is seven years since Swansea's seven-year spell as a Premier League club ended in relegation under Carlos Carvalhal. Two ownership groups, numerous key decision-makers and seven managers later, Swansea are hoping Alan Sheehan will be the man who can find a path back to the Premier League. In February, when Montague first got his feet under the table just 24 hours after Luke Williams had vacated his desk down the corridor, Swansea looked far likelier to drop into League One than climb to the top flight. But a fine finish to the season offered some hope for the next campaign – and convinced Montague, along with Swansea's owners, that caretaker boss Sheehan was worthy of a three-year contract. Advertisement Montague acknowledges that after seven defeats in nine league games, the initial focus when he arrived was to "make sure we stay in the league". "Thankfully the squad were able to pick up some form, with some really good leadership from Alan which drove them forwards," he adds. "We had a great finish and I think that gives us the opportunity to look forward and say OK, can we build on that now? "Can we use some of those templates and that formula, try to take them into next season, attack next season and give ourselves an opportunity to do something?" A familiar pattern - but can Sheehan's Swans buck the trend? Swansea lost only three of their final 13 games of last season [Huw Evans Agency] For a while under Williams, Swansea had looked capable – despite some deficiencies in their squad - of making a play-off push. Advertisement But top-six hopes disappeared during an alarming run of results and performances which cost Williams his job. After the unexpected slump came what seemed an unlikely upturn in fortunes, with Sheehan's rejuvenated side taking 24 points from the final 13 games of the season to secure an 11th-place finish. There were various encouraging signs, but then it should be noted Swansea have been here before in recent years. Williams' Swansea side had finished the 2023-24 campaign with something of a flourish to put to bed any relegation concerns, prompting some optimism about what the next campaign might bring. Advertisement Twelve months earlier, Russell Martin's team ended 2022-23 like a train after a mid-season slump which had seen some fans call for his head. Good finishes after difficult spells have been a pattern at Swansea. So what chance Sheehan's team can deliver on a more consistent basis in 2025-26? "I think you have to go into every season thinking how can we be the best possible version of what we can be?" Montague says. "We have had an awful lot of conversations about that, so we are in a good place to understand what we need to improve. "Obviously the league is no easier. Maybe it's even harder this year with the teams coming up and some of the teams coming down from the Premier League. Advertisement "But I would hope that we can have a stronger finish than last season and I would hope that year on year, we can demonstrate improvement that gives us an opportunity to be in with a puncher's chance of doing something special." Swansea look to have pulled off something of a coup by signing Ipswich Town's out-of-contract defender Cameron Burgess [Getty Images] Swansea's springtime surge under Sheehan meant they finished three places higher in the table than they had in 2024. In 2023 they ended up 10th, while in 2022 they were 15th. Not since Steve Cooper's two campaigns at the helm, 2019-20 and 2020-21, have Swansea made a genuine push for a Premier League return. With many bigger budgets elsewhere in the second tier, Swansea will not be one of the fancied clubs heading into 2025-26. Advertisement Last season's league position was a laudable effort and any improvement on that next May will mean Sheehan has had a good first full year at the helm. As ever, transfer work will be central to Swansea's prospects and, so far this summer, there have been promising signs. After various struggles in recent windows, Swansea have secured deals for winger Zeidane Inoussa, defenders Cameron Burgess and Ricardo Santos and striker Bobby Wales, while Melker Widell will arrive for pre-season thanks to a deal agreed in January. There are still vacancies to fill after a number of departures, but Montague says Swansea's early transfer work has brought a "feeling of momentum". Advertisement "I have always felt that if you get the majority of what you want done by the start of pre-season, you then have that six-week period to bed in and build a unit together," he adds. "But that's also with the awareness that you get opportunities later on that might not have been available in June, so there's always that balance." 'Luka believes in this project, so you should too' Swansea announced in April that Luka Modric had acquired a minority stake in the club [Getty Images] Montague left Notts County, of League Two, to try his hand in the Championship with Swansea. The thinking was that he would be reunited with Williams, who he had worked with successfully at Meadow Lane. Advertisement As it turned out, Williams' exit meant Montague was handed the task of leading a managerial search from the moment he arrived. Ultimately, Swansea's upturn meant the search led back to Sheehan – and allowed Montague to switch his focus to player recruitment. He says that during the many transfer-related conversations which have taken place, it has been clear the Swansea name carries weight. "You speak to players and agents from all across Europe and they all know Swansea City," he says. "They all associate Swansea with being a place where you'd want to play football. The pull that Swansea still has is incredibly powerful." Advertisement The fact that Luka Modric is now associated with the club, having become a co-owner in April, has not done any harm either. "I think the Championship is so incredibly demanding - the financial realities are such that you need something a bit different," Montague says. "I think that comes down to how you want to play, how you want to recruit players and how you want to operate, but also how you want to run your business side and how you bring extra eyeballs on to your product. "Luka Modric's name resonates with people the world over. He is a superstar, so that's really powerful to be able to say 'look, Luka believes in this project, so you should as well'."

Red Sox sending Kristian Campbell to Triple-A Worcester
The Boston Red Sox are sending struggling second baseman Kristian Campbell to Triple-A Worcester. ESPN's Jeff Passan was first to report Campbell's demotion on Thursday. The Red Sox are expected to announce the move Friday ahead of a three-game series against the Giants in San Francisco, with outfielder Wilyer Abreu set to be activated from the Injured List to take Campbell's spot on the roster. Campbell broke Spring Training as Boston's starting second baseman after an impressive camp, and the 22-year-old rookie got off to a hot start at the plate when he slashed .301/.407/.495 with four homers, eight doubles, 12 RBI, and 18 runs scored over his first 29 games. Campbell was the Rookie of the Month after his hot March and April, and was signed to an eight-year, $60 million contract less than a week after he began his Major League career. But he's gone ice cold since that scorching start, with Campbell hitting just .159 -- going 20-for-140 -- with a .243 on-base percentage since May 1. He's struck 40 strikeouts to just 10 walks over his last 38 games. The Red Sox have put a lot on the rookie's plate, with manager Alex Cora still batting him as high as fourth in the lineup despite Campbell's struggles. He had recently dropped to the bottom third of the lineup. And while Campbell started 54 games at second base, he was also moving around the field as he navigated his rookie season. He made seven starts in center field (including Wednesday's finale in Seattle) and two appearances in left. He also started doing some work at first base after the injury to Triston Casas, before the Red Sox pulled the plug on the experiment. In his 59 overall appearances at second, Campbell made seven errors to lead the team. The Red Sox are now hoping a little time in the minors will help Campbell regain his confidence at the plate and in the field. A fourth-round pick by Boston in 2023 out of Georgia Tech, Campbell played just 19 of his 138 minor league games at the Triple-A. Who will play second base for Red Sox? While Campbell tries to get right in the minors, the Red Sox will rely on David Hamilton and Romy Gonzalez to man second base. Hamilton is hitting just .172 in his 99 plate appearances, while Gonzalez is slashing .308/.473/.819 in his 28 games played. Gonzalez has seen action at first, second, and third base for Boston this season. Things could get interesting in the infield when Alex Bregman returns to third. When that happens, there's a good chance rookie Marcelo Mayer (.220/.277/.475 with four homers and six RBI) slides over to second, or he could potentially play shortstop with Trevor Story making the move to second.

Caitlin Clark has rare shooting woes as Fever fall to Valkyries following fiery Sun matchup
The Indiana Fever did not have to come to Caitlin Clark's defense this time, but the Golden State Valkyries did not make it easy on her on Thursday night. Clark, coming off a game that involved a lot of extracurricular activity after the whistle between herself and the Connecticut Sun, was not her usual sharp-shooting self in the Fever's 88-77 loss to the Valkyries on the road. Clark shot just 3-of-14 from the field, including her seven failed three-point attempts going through the hoop, as the Fever ended up blowing a 13-point lead in this game to fall to 6-6 on the year. Clark tallied 11 points, nine assists and seven rebounds, while turning the ball over six times to Golden State. While Clark struggled from beyond the arc, her teammates did not fare that much better. As a team, the Fever shot just 8-of-29 from three-point land, with Sophie Cunningham, who had been dubbed Clark's "bodyguard" on the court after the previous game against the Sun, being the only one to hit more than one of her attempts. Meanwhile, the Valkyries, led by Kayla Thornton's 16-point night with five three-pointers, now own the same 6-6 record. Golden State also saw major contributions off the bench, with Tiffany Hayes (14 points, five assists, three rebounds), Chloe Bibby (12 points, three rebounds, one assist) and Laeticia Amihere (10 points, three rebounds, three assists) all helping their team overcome a double-digit deficit in the end. For Indiana, Aliyah Boston led the team with 17 points, while Kelsey Mitchell (16 points) and Natasha Howard (13 points) all landed in double digits in that category. However, turnovers played a large factor in the Fever losing their lead, as the Valkyries forced 17 total while committing just seven. This uncharacteristic performance from Clark specifically comes after getting poked in the eye and being shoved to the ground in a very physical WNBA Commissioner's Cup game against the Sun on Tuesday night. Clark was being guarded by Jacy Sheldon when the Sun guard poked her in the eye, and the Fever superstar retaliated by pushing her away. That led to the Sun's Marina Mabrey running over and shoving Clark to the ground while her back was turned. A skirmish broke out, but it would not be the end for both teams. Later in the game, Cunningham wrapped up Sheldon while she was trying to score a basket in the fourth quarter, and it escalated to the point when both players got ejected after their physical altercation underneath the hoop. Indiana ended up winning the game, 88-71, with Clark totaling 20 points and six assists. It was just her second game since returning from injury. However, this certainly is not the way Clark or the Fever wanted to respond after that chippy game against the Sun. Their next opportunity to get back in the win column will be Sunday against the Las Vegas Aces.
