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. Advertisement 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. Advertisement 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.

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 Fans Saying Same Thing About Sanders' 'Little Boy' Act
Browns Fans Saying Same Thing About Sanders' 'Little Boy' Act originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders was always going to enter the league with the spotlight centered on him. That's the cost of doing business as Deion Sanders' son. Advertisement But neither Sanders nor his father have done much to dim those lights. A projected first-round pick, Sanders' fall to Round 5 was the preeminent story of the 2025 NFL Draft. He reportedly fell short of expectations during the pre-draft process, and without blue-chip talent, Sanders was more risk than reward for every team early in the draft. As the fourth quarterback on Cleveland's mess of a depth chart, Sanders had the opportunity to put his plummet behind him and earn his team's trust, both on and off the field. Reviews are mixed on Sanders' performance at minicamp and organized team activities (OTAs). But off the field, Sanders is speeding his way out of town. On June 5, Sanders was ticketed for speeding, going 91 mph in a 65-mph zone, per Alex Darus. Fewer than two weeks later, on June 17, he was pulled over again for going 101 mph in a 60-mph zone. Advertisement At Browns tight end Davis Njoku's charity softball event, Sanders' response to those speeding tickets went viral. 'I'm just a little boy … I made some wrong choices personally,' Sanders said. 'I gotta own up to them. I made some not-great choices. I learn from 'em. I learn. I learn.' Sanders' phrasing will earn him criticism. Sure, he was joking. But being a franchise quarterback means being accountable, mature, and learning from one's mistakes. For all intents and purposes, everybody speeds. It's not an indictment of Sanders' character. However, it's worth wondering why one ticket wasn't enough. Maybe the hundreds of dollars in fines aren't significant enough to move the needle. Perhaps he's a young kid in a new area who happened to get unlucky. Advertisement That answer isn't clear. What is overtly obvious, though, is that Sanders' goal should have been to avoid controversy at all cost. His leash is short and he doesn't have the early-round draft capital to save him. Sanders is only making life more difficult for himself, and his response hasn't earned him any more confidence. Fair or not, he must prove that he has the character to lead Cleveland to the promised land. Inexcusably, he hasn't slowed down enough to learn that lesson.

Browns' Shedeur Sanders Offers Bizarre Explanation For Two Speeding Tickets
Browns' Shedeur Sanders Offers Bizarre Explanation For Two Speeding Tickets originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Before his son took an epic tumble down the NFL Draft last April, Deion Sanders lashed out at critics who dared to relay negative stories about Shedeur's character. Advertisement Said Deion, "A young man that has never been in trouble, never involved in an off field incident, & quarterbacked two Universities to a resurgence has 0 behind the scenes qualities?" Oops. Make that two troubling off-field incidents - both resulting in citations for driving dangerously fast - in two weeks. Before the dust settled on Shedeur's ticket for driving 101 mph in a 60 mph zone this week, it's now been uncovered that the controversial Cleveland Browns' rookie quarterback was pulled over for the same offense on June 5. According to WKBN-TV in Cleveland, the Ohio State Highway Patrol issued him a citation for driving 91 mph in a 65 mph zone in Brunswick Hills. According to public records, Shedeur last Monday failed to appear in court for arraignment on the first speeding ticket and on Tuesday morning was pulled over again for doing 101 mph. He reportedly faces $269 in fines and court costs stemming from the June 5 violation and failure to appear in court, and another $250 for his speeding violation this week. Appearing at teammate David Njoku's charity softball game Thursday night in Eastlake, Ohio, Shedeur seemed hardly remorseful. In a video shot before pre-game introductions, he talked in his trademark mumbly cadence which, at times, sounds almost slurred. Advertisement "I know I be vibin', bruh," a laughing, smiling Shedeur seems to say to a man standing next to him. "I'm just a little boy. I made some wrong choices, personally, and I gotta own up to 'em. I made some, you know, not great choices. I learn from 'em. I learn. I learn." Committing the exact same mistake twice in two weeks doesn't exactly sound like "learning" as much as it does "repeating." At this point Deion needs to stop coddling his son and start teaching him some history about NFL players driving recklessly fast. He can start with Rashee Rice and Henry Ruggs, then throw in the tale of teammate of Myles Garrett. Shedeur, by the way, is 23 years old. In the video, the man next to Shedeur says, "He's just a regular kid. What's wrong with y'all? He ain't do nothing wrong."
