Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders is accused of driving his pickup truck at 101 mph in suburban Cleveland earlier this week.
The Strongsville Police Department stopped Sanders at just past midnight on Tuesday in a 60 mph zone on Interstate 71 near the Ohio Turnpike, according to a report provided to local media.
The 23-year-old could pay a $250 fine to waive the fourth-degree misdemeanor case, according to police.
The Browns did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Sanders, the son of Hall of Fame player Deion Sanders, was drafted in the fifth round of the NFL draft this spring, even though many projections had him going in the first round. Some attributed his fall down the draft to teams’ concerns over his character.
Sanders is competing against three other quarterbacks to become the Browns’ starter for the 2025 season. The team wrapped up minicamp last week and will open training camp in late July.
