Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders Ticketed Twice for Speeding in Ohio

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has been cited twice for speeding in Ohio this month, raising concerns about his awareness and responsibility as he transitions to the NFL. Sanders was stopped for driving 91 mph in a 65 mph zone on June 5 and failed to appear for the arraignment, incurring $269 in fines and court costs. Less than two weeks later, he was pulled over again for driving 101 mph in a 60 mph zone, facing a fourth-degree misdemeanor with an option to pay a $250 fine or contest the charge. The Browns have acknowledged the issue and stated Sanders is handling the tickets, although no further disciplinary actions have been announced. Despite these legal troubles, Sanders remains part of the Browns’ quarterback depth chart, positioned behind Dillon Gabriel, Kenny Pickett, and Joe Flacco. Observers note that while speeding itself may not reflect character, repeated offenses so close together suggest a lack of judgment at a time when Sanders's actions are heavily scrutinized.
