Shedeur Sanders breaks silence amid speed ticket incident
Amid the controversy and competition for the starting quarterback role, Sanders addressed the speeding reports during a Twitch stream. Responding to claims he was clocked at 101 MPH, he appeared unfazed. On his own channel on the platform, the player admitted, “I've made some wrong choices, I can own up to it - I learn from them.”
Earlier this week, Sanders was cited for speeding while driving a Dodge TRX truck on a suburban Cleveland highway. According to reports, Strongsville Police pulled him over around 12:30 AM on Interstate 71, where he was allegedly driving well above the 60 MPH speed limit near the Ohio Turnpike, as reported by Marca.
He faces a minimum fine of $250 for the incident, which police classify as a fourth-degree misdemeanor. However, this wasn’t his first run-in with speeding laws—he was reportedly stopped earlier this month as well.

Sanders’ other speed ticket incident
A prior incident took place on June 5 in Brunswick Hills, Ohio, where Sanders was clocked driving 91 MPH in a 65 MPH zone, according to the State Patrol. Court records also show that he failed to appear for a scheduled hearing on the matter this past Monday. Peter John-Baptiste, who is the spokesperson for Browns, told AP that "the team has directly addressed the fines with Sanders, and he will handle them appropriately."
The two ticket incidents in such a short span raised several eyebrows against Sanders in Cleveland.
