Browns Shedeur Sanders Ticketed For Driving 101 MPH

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. 

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. 

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. 

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.
