Former NFL Player Changes Tune on Shedeur Sanders After Second Speeding Ticket originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has been pulled over twice in the past two weeks for driving well over the speed limit.

Sanders, 23, was pulled over and given his first speeding citation on June 5 in Brunswick Hills, Ohio, for driving 91 mph in a 65 mph zone. He faces $269 in fines and court costs for failing to appear for an arraignment on June 16, according to an ESPN report from Thursday.

He was pulled over a second time by a Strongsville (Ohio) police officer at 12:24 a.m. ET on Tuesday for driving 101 in a 60 mph zone. Furthermore, the officer’s body camera footage shows Sanders being questioned while sitting inside his black Dodge TRX pickup truck.

He faces a $250 citation for the second encounter. He has also received criticism from a former NFL player about his recent behavior. The player didn’t make much of an issue out of the first incident.

“The logic and mindset to have gotten a speeding ticket and then less than two weeks later, you're driving over 100 miles per hour and over 40 miles per hour over the speed limit,” former offensive lineman Ross Tucker said during a recent episode of the “Ross Tucker Podcast.”

Sanders performed well throughout Cleveland’s minicamp and even impressed some fans, but that positive view could change because his legal troubles might negatively impact his reputation.

“I don’t know if that’s entitlement or immaturity; there’s got to be some teams that are feeling very good right now that they didn’t draft him,” Tucker added. “I just can't wrap my head around this, and then you drive over 100 miles per hour less than two weeks later.”

Tucker continued, “There’s not many franchise quarterbacks who have had success after making mistakes like this. Not many, and to continue to have the mindset that he has after being pulled over twice in this short time frame and not learn from this mistake, it’s mind-boggling.”

Sanders has not issued a response to Tucker’s remarks, but did respond to questions about his actions. “I made some wrong choices personally and can own up to them,” he said in a video obtained by NBC Sports reporter Mike Florio.

“I made some, you know, not great choices,” Sanders continued. “I learned.”

Report: Florida basketball to have one of the ‘top basketball NIL budgets in the SEC’

-
The Florida basketball program has flourished under head coach Todd Golden , with his emphasis on leveraging the transfer portal playing a key role in their success. The team finished the season with an incredible 30-4 record and won the SEC Tournament, a testament to Golden's ability to build a winning roster through experienced transfers. Every starter besides Alex Condon was a transfer portal acquisition for Golden and the Gators. Walter Clayton Jr. transferred from Iona, Will Richard came from Belmont, Alijah Martin transferred from Florida Atlantic University and Rueben Chinyelu was a former Washington State Cougar.

Tanner Bibee emerged a central piece to the Guardians’ future last season. He’ll now remain in Cleveland until at least 2029. The Guardians signed the right-hander to a five-year contract extension through the 2029 season that includes a club option for 2030, the club announced Saturday afternoon. Bibee was set to become a free agent after the 2028 season. This extension eats up one and potentially two years of his free agent eligibility. For Bibee, it allows him to receive his first major payday without further injury risk. For the Guardians, it allows them to retain him for an extra season or two by giving him some early financial guarantees. Last year, Bibee took over as the club’s No. 1 starter after Shane Bieber needed Tommy John surgery , Gavin Williams missed most of the season with his own injury issues and Triston McKenzie lost his command to the point of needing to be sent to Triple-A Columbus. Bibee was recently named as the club’s Opening Day starter . This article...
