Shedeur Sanders pays speeding tickets, addresses citations at Browns event
Shedeur Sanders has been living life in the fast lane during the month of June. While the quarterback is battling for the Cleveland Browns starting quarterback job on the field, he's been speeding off of it.
Sanders was ticketed for speeding on two separate occasions in June, according to court records.

As of Friday morning, both tickets have been paid. Sanders paid $269 in fines and court fees on June 20 to settle his ticket from a June 5 incident, according to records from Medina, Ohio. In addition, the quarterback paid $250 in fines and court costs for his June 17 speeding ticket, which also cost him four points on his license, according to the Strongsville Mayor's Court Online Docketing and Ticket Payment System.
Sanders addressed the incidents at Browns tight end David Njoku's celebrity softball game.
'I've made some wrong choices,' Sanders said with a laugh. 'I gotta own up to them. ... I learn from them.'
Sanders was cited for driving 101 mph in a 60 mph speed limit zone in Strongsville, Ohio at around 12:30 a.m. on June 17, according to court records from Medina, Ohio. It was the second incident involving the 23-year-old's speed in June, with the other coming on June 5 in Brunswick, Ohio, where he was ticketed for driving 91 mph in a 65 mph zone.

He later failed to appear in court for the first ticket on June 16, leaving $269 outstanding in fines and court costs for the former Colorado quarterback to deal with.
Team spokesman Peter John-Baptiste told Cleveland.com on Thursday, "He is taking care of the tickets."
Up to this point, Sanders has been mostly in the news for good reasons. He's been involved in the community and hasn't let his draft slide dominate the offseason.
After falling to the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Sanders was eventually selected with the 144th overall pick. He's battling Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel for the starting gig — and a roster spot.

While a pair of speeding tickets won't cost him the job, Sanders will want to return everyone's attention to his work on the field rather than any potential issues off of it.
Rookies are set to report to Browns training camp on July 18 in Berea, Ohio.

Shedeur Sanders admits 'wrong choices' after being caught speeding at 101 MPH, failing to show in court
Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders reportedly received two traffic tickets and failed to appear in court, according to police records. The rookie quarterback addressed those traffic tickets while appearing at teammate David Njoku's charity softball game on Thursday. "I made some wrong choices personally and I can own up to them," Sanders said, via Pro Football Talk. "I made some, you know, not great choices… I learned." The 23-year-old was pulled over in Strongsville, Ohio after he reached 101 MPH in his vehicle in a 60 mph zone, according to police records. It was the second time he had received a traffic ticket this month. Medina Municipal Court records that were filed on June 6 indicated that Sanders was pulled over by Ohio State Highway Patrol in Medina, according to Sanders also failed to appear at the June 13 arraignment for the first incident, the records show. "He is taking care of the tickets," Browns spokesman Peter John-Baptiste told the outlet. The Browns mandatory minicamp concluded on June 12, and the three-day session ended the team's organized offseason program. The next time the team is together, it will be training camp on July 22. The team's quarterback competition will turn up a notch in training camp. The Browns have five quarterbacks on their roster but have no clear starter. Deshaun Watson re-ruptured his Achilles tendon in January after he underwent surgery on that same tendon in October 2024, and his status for the upcoming season is in doubt. The Browns acquired Kenny Pickett in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles and signed Joe Flacco to a one-year contract prior to the NFL Draft. With the additions of third-round pick Dillon Gabriel and Sanders to an already packed quarterback room, it remains to be seen who will get the Week 1 nod.

Raiders DE Maxx Crosby Has Strong Message on Shedeur Sanders
Raiders DE Maxx Crosby Has Strong Message on Shedeur Sanders originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Shedeur Sanders is going to continue to be a popular news topic for the foreseeable future, even after falling to the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He's a talented quarterback who likely should've been drafted higher, but dramatically fell for myriad reasons. Advertisement It may never be clear why exactly NFL teams didn't want Sanders, but there's been a lot of speculation that he has a poor attitude, and his status as a big star could lead to some distractions. Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby has known Sanders since he was a kid, and he defended the young quarterback while stating that the concerns about him are misplaced. Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Blaze-Imagn Images '͏I think he's handled it the ͏right way,' Crosby said of Sanders on the "Glory Daze with Johnny Manziel" podcast. 'People have their certain opinions, you're Dei͏on͏ Sander͏s͏' son, he's got ͏a͏ big ͏personality, bigger than life, he's got his jewelry, he's ͏got this, and ͏you know ͏people just automatically put him ͏in a ͏box that he's a͏ distraction, not ͏a good ͏kid͏,͏ things like ͏that ͏and I͏ ͏think that's unfair.' Advertisement Sanders has shown some immaturity with how he's spoken about opposing players or players who transferred from Colorado while he was there, but he's never gotten into serious legal trouble, and most of his teammates have spoken highly of him. He hasn't created any major negative headlines since joining the Cleveland Browns, but time will tell if he truly deserved to fall to the fifth round of the draft.
