Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders was cited for speeding early on Tuesday, according to police records obtained by NBC News. The Strongsville, Ohio, Police Department said Sanders was driving his black Dodge pickup truck at 101 mph in a 60 mph zone before being stopped at 12:24 a.m.
He must either pay a fine or contest the ticket in court on July 3.
Sanders, a fifth-round pick out of Colorado, is in competition for the starting quarterback job in Cleveland with Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel.
In two seasons at Colorado he threw for 7,364 yards, 64 touchdowns with just 13 interceptions. A potential first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, he slid down boards and was the sixth signal-caller taken.
His fall on draft night even prompted President Donald Trump to call NFL owners “stupid” on social media for not selecting him higher.
