Sanders ticketed twice for speeding in June

STRONGSVILLE (AP) — Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has been ticketed for speeding twice this month in Ohio. Sanders was accused of driving a Dodge TRX pickup truck 101 miles per hour on a suburban Cleveland interstate earlier this week. The Strongsville Police Department stopped Sanders at about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday in a 60 MPH zone on Interstate 71 near the Ohio Turnpike, according to a report provided to local media. Sanders, 23, could pay a $250 fine to waive the fourth-degree misdemeanor case, according to police. But it wasn't the first time he'd been pulled over for allegedly speeding since joining the Browns. That ticket came after he was stopped by the Ohio State Patrol on June 5 in Brunswick Hills. Sanders was pulled over for going 91 MPH in a 65 MPH zone, Ohio State Patrol told WKBN-TV. According to Medina Municipal Court records, Sanders failed to appear for an arraignment for that ticket Monday and owes $269 in court costs. Browns spokesman Peter John-Baptiste told Cleveland.com Thursday that: "he is taking care of the tickets." Sanders, the son of Hall of Fame player Deion Sanders, was drafted in the fifth round (144th overall) of the NFL draft this spring, even though many projections had him going in the first round. He played under his father at the University of Colorado. Sanders is competing against three other quarterbacks with the Browns. They wrapped up minicamp last week and will open training camp in late July.
