Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders was cited by police for driving over 100 miles per hour on the highway early Tuesday morning, according to police records.
An officer for the Strongsville (Ohio) Police Department stopped the 23-year-old Sanders just after midnight for driving 41 mph over the posted 60 mph speed limit in his black 2025 Dodge TRX truck, per a report from ESPN.
Sanders can either pay a $250 fine for the fourth-degree misdemeanor or plead his case in front of a judge on July 3. Sanders’ girlfriend, who was clocked going 92 miles per hour, was pulled over in a separate car at the same time and given a warning.
Sanders, a projected first-round draft pick who was selected by Cleveland after a dramatic fall to the fifth round, participated in the Browns’ mandatory minicamp last week. Cleveland’s unofficial fourth-string quarterback, Sanders was arguably the most recognizable player in the country entering the draft. In 50 collegiate games, he completed 70.1% of his passes for 14,347 yards, with 134 touchdowns and 27 interceptions. He ran for 17 more scores.
