Shedeur Sanders is taking some serious heat after getting pulled over for driving several mph above the speed limit this week, but his recent brush with the law in the Greater Cleveland metropolitan area isn’t even his first.
The Browns rookie was stopped by police in Strongsville, Ohio, for driving 101 mph in a 60 mph zone on I-71 North on June 17, a fourth-degree misdemeanor in the state. He has been fined $250 and can contest it in court on July 3 if he wishes.
As it turns out, this was Shedeur’s second stop in less than two weeks. The former Colorado star was pulled over in Medina County 11 days prior on June 6.
The exact speed he was driving at was not disclosed, yet it was significant enough to require a court appearance, which he skipped…
Shedeur Sanders was due in court on June 16 but, per public records, failed to show. That he absented himself could escalate the situation, though we don’t know what his reason was.
The Browns haven’t issued a formal statement regarding Sanders’ encounter with police, but insiders have cited this as a “red flag,” especially given the timing.
Shedeur is trying to earn a roster spot after dropping to the fifth round of the NFL Draft, so this is an unwelcome distraction for both him and the Browns.
While he has impressed in rookie minicamp and is said to be looking the part after beginning training with the Browns, his recent brushes with the law could be of serious concern to the Browns.
