Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has broken his silence after receiving two speeding citations in the span of a month.
On Thursday, while attending teammate David Njoku‘s celebrity softball game, the 23-year-old quarterback addressed the off-field headlines that had recently surfaced.
Shedeur Sanders forgets about trouble with the law and concentrates in another sport
“I’ve made some wrong choices,” Sanders admitted during a brief interview at the charity event. “I learn from them.”
It was the first public statement from Sanders since it was revealed that he had been cited twice in June for speeding violations.
Shedeur Sanders says he will not drive cars anymore after his multiple speeding accidents this month: “”I don’t drive no more, no more”.
According to court records obtained by ESPN, Sanders was pulled over on two separate occasions, once for driving 91 mph in a 65 mph zone, and again for allegedly hitting 101 mph in a 60 mph zone.
The first incident took place on June 5 in Brunswick Hills and was handled by the Ohio State Highway Patrol. The second occurred this past Tuesday, when Sanders was stopped by Strongsville police for speeding in a black Dodge TRX truck. He was clocked at more than 40 mph over the speed limit, per ESPN.
Court records also show that Sanders failed to appear for his arraignment for the first violation. As a result, he now faces $269 in fines and court costs. For the second ticket – a fourth-degree misdemeanor – he must either pay a $250 fine or contest the charge in Strongsville Mayor’s Court on July 3.
Sanders’ future with the Browns hinges on discipline, development
The timing of the incidents is less than ideal for Sanders, who is entering his rookie NFL season with plenty to prove. Drafted in the fifth round with the No. 144 overall pick, Sanders was one of two quarterbacks Cleveland selected in 2025, joining third-rounder Dillon Gabriel.
While the Browns’ quarterback situation remains unsettled, with veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett also in the mix, Sanders is currently listed as the fourth-string QB, per Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot.
His status as a developmental prospect was already understood, but these off-field concerns now add pressure to a player trying to climb the depth chart and prove his maturity in a professional setting.
Though the Browns have yet to issue any formal discipline, team officials are aware of the citations. For now, they appear content to let Sanders handle the legal process while focusing on his development as training camp nears.
Despite the rocky start, Sanders seems intent on taking responsibility for his actions and refocusing on football.
