Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders was caught driving his pickup truck at 101 mph in a 60 mph zone near the Ohio Turnpike in suburban Cleveland. The Strongsville Police Department stopped Sanders in the early hours of a Tuesday morning this week. Sanders, who is 23 years old and the son of Hall of Fame player Deion Sanders, may have the option to pay a $250 fine to resolve the fourth-degree misdemeanor case.

Following his selection in the fifth round of the NFL draft, despite initial projections placing him in the first round, Sanders now faces competition to secure the starting quarterback position for the Browns in the upcoming 2025 season. Speculation around his draft position suggests concerns over his character may have influenced teams’ decisions.

While Sanders competes for the starting role, the Browns have yet to comment on the incident involving the speeding violation. With minicamp concluded, the team is gearing up to kick off training camp later in July. The outcome of Sanders’ legal case and his performance on the field will be closely watched as he vies for a prominent role in the upcoming NFL season.
