Colin Cowherd Slams Shedeur Sanders’ 101 MPH Blunder

When you are as polarizing as quarterback Shedeur Sanders, almost everything you do gets put into the spotlight.

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.”

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.
