Shedeur Sanders Gets Major Career Advice After Speeding Incident

“He has great pedigree. He’s the son of an NFL Hall of Famer,” Ice Cube said. “So he’s a great example of a kid taking the opportunity that’s in front of him and running with it.

“But don’t go 100 miles an hour. That would be my advice. The Raiders had a player, his last name is Ruggs, and he was going over 100 miles an hour. He killed a lady and it ended his football career. So nothing good happens at 100 miles an hour. Wanna tell him to tone it down. Go 80, man. Go 85. But don’t go 100. Slow it down a little bit, youngster.”

Ruggs' tragic story is one glaring example of how immature decision making can take away everything a young athlete has earned. While the pressures of Sanders' situation are significant, they should never advance to such reckless behavior. 

At the same time, the Browns quarterback room has two veterans ranked ahead of him and a fellow rookie taken two rounds before him. Actions like this cause the franchise to lose trust, something so valuable for young players trying to work their way up the depth chart. 

Sanders' exact future for this season in terms of his anticipated role is not defined quite yet, but he should be well advised now to act smarter outside of the lines. That bodes well not only for his and the safety of others, but for his chances to enhance his role on the gridiron as well.
