Browns QB Shedeur Sanders Put on Notice After Speeding Incident

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders was ticketed for speeding, raising questions about his judgment as he competes for the starting job.

Sanders was pulled over shortly after midnight on June 17, clocked at 101 mph — 41 miles over the posted limit. The former Colorado standout received a citation for the offense.

While speeding isn’t the most serious of infractions, Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com said the incident should serve as a reality check for Sanders as he navigates life in the NFL.

“Sanders, who can fight the ticket or pay the $250 fine, still could’ve killed himself or someone else at that speed, and he’s lucky no one got hurt. It’s why this incident should be an enormous wakeup call for him,” Cabot said. “The Browns are evaluating everything their players do, and the citation goes on the minus side of the ledger. Speeding is one thing, but going 40 mph over the speed limit on a highway after midnight — during rookie orientation — is another.”

Cabot noted that the Browns are aware of the incident but are unlikely to impose any punishment.
