Browns Shedeur Sanders Ticketed For Driving 101 MPH
Browns Shedeur Sanders Ticketed For Driving 101 MPH originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Shedeur Sanders' offseason had put together an impressive offseason to this point. Despite entering a crowded quarterbacks room with the Cleveland Browns, the fifth-round rookie showed his determination to move up the ranks. Advertisement His work has come mostly with second-teamers though leaving a positive impression on his coaches nonetheless. Up until Tuesday the dialogue seemed to turn a corner. However, a reckless decision now has fans questioning his true intentions of succeeding on the professional stage. Police pulled over and ticketed Sanders for allegedly driving over 100mph, according to FOX 8 in Cleveland. The incident occurred in Strongsville, a suburb in the Cleveland area. Strongsville police records show that an officer stopped Sanders on 71 North around 12:24 a.m. on Tuesday. The report indicates Sanders was clocked at a speed of 101 mph, 41 mph over the limit. Advertisement The station reached out to the Browns who have yet to comment on the matter. Sanders can either pay the fine that comes with the citation or contest it in court. While there is no serious criminal offense here the mistake is poorly timed on Sanders part now finally removed from the hysteria of a historic draft slide. Once a potential No. 1 overall pick, Sanders plummeted down the draft board until Cleveland selected him in the fifth round. Much of slide had to do with Sanders' handling of the pre-draft process and the impression he left on prospective teams. While speeding isn't a felony crime, it does add fuel to the fiery narrative that suggested Shedeur was "arrogant" and "entitled." It's certainly not a career-ender for Sanders by any means. But for an already polarizing player, Sanders gave his team and their fans additional reason to question his prospects as a starting quarterback. Advertisement He is the one shouldered with making up ground in this quarterback competition and may have set himself back in the eyes of the coaching staff after this mistake.

Browns Star Cracks Top 5 of NFL's 100 Best Players
Browns Star Cracks Top 5 of NFL's 100 Best Players originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After demanding a trade earlier this offseason, Cleveland Browns superstar pass rusher Myles Garrett backed off his demand and signed a four-year, $160 million contract extension to remain in Cleveland. Advertisement And the Browns are happy he stayed. Garrett just showed up on CBS Sports' top 100 players in the NFL list as the second-best player in the league. He has been a staple near the top of those rankings, appearing at No. 2 last season as well, and 2025 is no exception. 2. Myles Garrett - Cleveland Browns DE "Garrett had 14 sacks to finish second in the league, but his impact was much more obvious than that number. He is an elite game-wrecker as he turns 30 this year. (Last season: No. 2)." The Browns fully expect Garrett to continue the Hall of Fame trajectory that his career has been on over the past eight seasons. Advertisement Browns' defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz thinks that will surely happen and has high hopes for a great season from Garrett. "I really think Myles is going to have the best season of his career. And has to right?" Schwartz said with a laugh. "I've told him before, what's that Spider-Man quote, 'with great power comes great responsibility.' With the big contract, with the notoriety that came along with that, with the process that took to get him to that point, there also comes. "There's always pressure in this league, but probably a little bit more so. But I think that brings out the best in players, and I know that will be the case with Myles also."

Shedeur Sanders' ticket for allegedly speeding over 100 mph wasn't his first since joining Browns: 'I've made some wrong choices'
Shedeur Sanders' speeding ticket Tuesday for allegedly driving more than 100 mph wasn't his first since joining the Cleveland Browns. Per the Browns' rookie quarterback was previously cited by the Ohio State Highway Patrol on June 6 for speeding in the Cleveland suburb of Medina, Ohio. Per the Highway Patrol, Sanders was driving 91 mph in a 65 mph zone on Interstate 71 at 5:13 p.m. Advertisement Per court records obtained by Sanders missed a June 16 arraignment related to the infraction. It's not clear from the report if Sanders was required to show up in court or if he had the option of paying a fine that would absolve him from his court date. Court records state the ticket was for $150 and that additional costs raised the total fine to $249. On June 17 — the night after his scheduled court date — Sanders was pulled over in Strongville, Ohio at 12:24 a.m. for his second speeding infraction in two weeks. Police say he was driving 101 mph in a 60-mph zone in his Dodge pickup truck on Interstate 71 in the Cleveland suburb. Police released bodycam footage of the traffic stop that appeared to take place without notable incident. Per Sanders has a July 3 court date scheduled in Strongsville's Mayor's Court related to the second speeding infraction. Browns spokesman Peter John-Baptiste told the team has addressed the infractions with Sanders. Advertisement 'He is taking care of the tickets,' John-Baptiste told Sanders addressed the matter during an appearance at teammate David Njoku's celebrity softball game on Thursday, acknowledging he's "made some wrong choices" in between laughs to the camera. The Browns selected Sanders in the fifth round of April's NFL Draft out of Colorado. Sanders, the son of Colorado coach and Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, was projected to be selected significantly higher, and his slide to the fifth round became the story of the NFL Draft. Sanders was the second quarterback selected by the Browns, who drafted Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the third round. Both quarterbacks are engaged in a battle for the starting quarterback position in Cleveland alongside veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett. Advertisement Deshaun Watson, who's under contract for $230 million, is recovering from an Achilles injury that's expected to keep him sidelined until late in the 2025 season at the earliest. He struggled on the field prior to his injury and was at risk of losing his starting quarterback job, regardless. The Browns wrapped mandatory minicamp last week. The competition for Cleveland's starting quarterback position will resume at training camp in July.

Colin Cowherd Slams Shedeur Sanders' 101 MPH Blunder
Colin Cowherd Slams Shedeur Sanders' 101 MPH Blunder originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When you are as polarizing as quarterback Shedeur Sanders, almost everything you do gets put into the spotlight. Advertisement That's exactly what the Cleveland Browns rookie has been dealing with throughout the last couple of years. Most recently, he was cited for speeding early Tuesday morning for allegedly driving over 100 mph. According to police records, Sanders was traveling at 101 mph, 41 miles over the speed limit, and was stopped at about 12:24 a.m. Fox personality Colin Cowherd is notorious for having loud takes on NFL quarterbacks, particularly towards younger players and he unleashed on Sanders following the news. 'Mike Tomlin often says two is a trend. Can't score up three or four times, two is a trend,' Cowherd said. 'Just two times. I'm not sure if I need two times when you're a young quarterback. One bad judgment turns me off, but I have now, in the last couple months, two things that really turn me off with Shedeur Sanders.' Advertisement To Cowherd's defense, an NFL quarterback is typically viewed as the face of the franchise, and being a leader is vital. Despite the talent Sanders has shown on film, Cowherd is out on him, saying he's not sure if the former Colorado Buffalo is mature enough. 'That cringy awful 'legendary' draft room. Bro, you're a B prospect. Your dad is 'Primetime' who led with his ego for years, you have to have a little self-awareness. I had more than one GM say 'total turnoff.'. It's not the end of the world, but it's a bad look,' Cowherd said. 'And now this, 100 miles an hour. Yup, all you fanboys, go ahead, Manziel, Baker, and Deshaun Watson, defended it to the hilt on your Reddit account. Sorry, don't minimize it, this is not good for a quarterback.' Sanders already faced an uphill battle to see the field as a rookie, but this likely hurts his chances, at least for the near future. The Browns clearly believe in him, however, veteran Joe Flacco is expected to start week one with Kenny Pickett not too far behind. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 19, 2025, where it first appeared.
