Browns rookie QB Shedeur Sanders cited for driving 101 mph

Police cited Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders for driving 41 miles over the posted speed limit in the early hours Tuesday after the 23-year-old was clocked at 101 mph by the Strongsville Police Department in Ohio.

Police records indicated that Sanders was stopped at 12:24 a.m. local time for exceeding the 60 mph limit in his black Dodge TRX truck in Strongsville, located about 20 miles southwest of Cleveland.

As a result, he must either pay a $250 fine for the fourth-degree misdemeanor or dispute the ticket in court on July 3.

A projected first-round pick in April’s NFL draft after throwing for 4,134 yards (fourth in FBS) and 37 touchdowns (second) at Colorado, Sanders was selected by Cleveland in the fifth round after the Browns also drafted Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel in the third.
