Shedeur Sanders speeding ticket: Browns rookie QB can't make mistakes
Rather than avoiding an NFL spotlight that's sparked so many off-field wildfires over the years, Sanders instead provided fresh kindling for a legion of critics waiting to pounce - cited by police for driving 101 miles per hour after midnight ET Tuesday in suburban Cleveland. The listed speed limit where he committed the infraction was 60 mph. Maybe you're thinking this isn't a big deal, easy enough to ascribe this mistake to youthful intemperance. And Sanders, 23, didn't cause an accident. He wasn't driving under the influence. His maximum legal exposure for a fourth-degree misdemeanor is a $250 fine. The Browns haven't issued a public statement. Nor has Sanders. And why should they? This incident - if it's even that - pretty plainly speaks for itself. "I just feel like in life and everything, it's just me versus me, you know?" Sanders said following Cleveland's rookie minicamp last month. "I can't control any other decision besides that. So, I just try to be my best self at all times." Obviously, he fell short of that Tuesday morning. Still, it would be silly to suggest that this is or should be a fireable offense. However it's certainly an (another?) unforced error from a player whose judgment outside the lines has drawn far more scrutiny in recent months than his generally reliable decision-making on the field. And it's fair to say a guy who's been running with the fourth stringers is further distinguishing himself in the Browns' crowded competition to be QB1 in 2025 - and that is not a compliment. There are three men ahead of Sanders on Cleveland's depth chart. Grizzled veteran Joe Flacco is a former Super Bowl MVP who also revitalized the Browns into a playoff squad in 2023. Kenny Pickett didn't pan out as a 2022 first-round pick for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he does have a 15-10 record as a starter in the NFL and earned a Super Bowl ring of his own last season as a backup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Like Sanders, Dillon Gabriel is a rookie. Gabriel was also drafted 50 spots ahead of Sanders following a distinguished college run that saw him start the most games ever (64) by a Division I quarterback while accounting for an FBS record 190 career touchdowns. He led the University of Oregon to a No. 1 ranking last year and a berth in the College Football Playoff. Sanders (somehow?) got his No. 2 - a digit the Browns didn't even see fit to let him select - retired by the University of Colorado, which went 13-12 during his two seasons and didn't win a bowl game. Despite his unremarkable physical skill set, he was unequivocally one of the country's better college quarterbacks - though it also helped to play with Heisman Trophy-winning receiver Travis Hunter, the No. 2 overall pick of this year's draft. Nevertheless, neither Flacco, Pickett nor Gabriel has been ticketed for excessive speeding ... or drawn flak for anything else of note in their personal lives. Meanwhile, Sanders needs to prove he's a superior option to a trio of other ones who have reputations as sterling citizens and, in one context or another, solid quarterbacks. And don't forget, there are also quite a few notable players behind Sanders. Just since 2012, the year Jimmy Haslam became the club's owner, the Browns have spent first-round picks on the likes of Brandon Weeden and Baker Mayfield, the top pick in 2018. Cleveland traded back into Round 1 in 2014 for Johnny Manziel, then gave up the farm and a fully guaranteed $230 million contract to acquire troubled Deshaun Watson eight years later. (Remarkably - or maybe not since we're talking about the Browns - neither Watson nor Manziel ever led Cleveland in passing yards in a season even once.) It didn't take Haslam long to lose patience with Weeden or Manziel, who didn't last two years in the league thanks to his pitiful play and off-field transgressions. (And, as of June 2025, no one should be comparing Manziel's brand of hubris or very serious personal issues to anything Sanders has done, allegedly or otherwise - though the latter also isn't the must-see, dual threat football talent "Johnny Football" once was.) Mayfield often played well - and frequently through pain when he doubtless would have been better off anywhere but a football field - for a fairly flawed team yet was still unceremoniously dumped in favor of Watson, who only remains on the roster due to his onerous contract. And these were all guys the Browns were heavily invested in. Though Sanders was widely expected to go in the first round of this year's draft, more than one pundit suggested the son of legendary Hall of Famer and Buffs coach Deion Sanders would more likely be a Day 2 pick if his name was Shedeur Jones. Turns out, apparently since his name is Shedeur Sanders, who was never the kind of generational talent who'd blind teams with scintillating gifts, he became a fifth-round flier - the type of player who doesn't even need to give a team a reason to cut him. Asked about his approach after Cleveland finally ended his highly scrutinized draft free fall in April, Sanders said this: "Get there and handle my business. Do what I have to do, whatever role that is. I'm just thankful for the opportunity. So that's all I could ask for. "The rest is on me." Yep. Sanders should heed his own advice. If he's not more careful, the next ticket he's served with could be the one-way variety - to football exile. All NFL news on and off the field. Sign up for USA TODAY's 4th and Monday newsletter.

Tom Brady stuns fans with new picture of his incredible physique at 47
NFL legendary quarterback and current Fox broadcaster Tom Brady has stunned fans with a new Instagram post where he posted new photos on his incredible physique at 47 years old. One of the photos from the quintet Brady posted to social media included a full-body shot, where the former Buccaneer and Patriots signal caller is shirtless, wearing only workout shorts. Brady is promoting the athletic shoe brand NOBULL with the post, where the exact pair of sneakers he is wearing are only visible in the shirtless photo. The future Hall of Famer's sneakers are gray, or the 'arctic gum' brand. '@nobull shows up wherever life takes you. At home, on the road, at work, or halfway across the world, the mindset travels with you,' Brady said in the post's caption. 'I'm always amazed by what the human body can do, and I'll always be committed to moving with purpose, one day at a time. No shortcuts, no noise, just the work and the will to keep showing up. NOBULL. #LFG' Brady can also be seen in two of the photos using a leg press, which appears to be at a high weight with one of his faces being a little in agony. The commentator also posted a pair of photos of him more in the dark during his workout. In recent weeks, Brady has been traveling the globe with two of his kids, Vivian and Benjamin, as they are off from school. In an Instagram carousel post recapping the Japanese part of the vacation, Brady can be seen holding a samurai sword, watching some sumo wrestling and posing with his kids in several different settings. In one photo, Brady even showed off a cake with a Raiders logo on it presented to his family at a restaurant. 'Japan we love you! We had SO MUCH FUN! Thank you for your hospitality and beauty!,' he wrote on Instagram.
