Shedeur Sanders’ personal life has been thrust into the spotlight after video of the rookie Browns quarterback being pulled over for allegedly speeding over 100 mph in Ohio this week surfaced.
According to the June 17 incident report obtained by The Post, Sanders — the son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders — was cited for allegedly driving 101 mph in a 60-mph zone, while a woman identified as Jasmine Hammond was driving in another vehicle.
“I got you at 101 miles per hour,” an officer is heard in bodycam footage. “I got her at 92.”
Although the relations between Sanders, 23, and Hammond are not entirely clear, an officer could be heard stating in the body cam footage, “I’m going to give your girl a break.”
“I’m gonna cut you a break,” the officer said to Sanders in the clip. “I’m not going to give her a ticket … but 101, I got a dash cam and stuff, man, like…”
With the citation, Sanders can either pay a $250 fine or fight the ticket in court on July 3, according to TMZ.
The former Colorado quarterback’s driving has been at the center of headlines in recent days after Cleveland.com reported Thursday he was pulled over earlier this month by Ohio State Highway Patrol for allegedly going 91 mph in a 65-mph zone.
“I’ve made some wrong choices personally, and I can own up to them,” Sanders recently said at Browns teammate David Njoku’s charity softball game, according to Pro Football Talk.
“I made some, you know, not great choices. … I learned.”
Sanders is currently preparing for his first NFL season after a wild draft experience in April.
Regarded as one of the most polarizing prospects in the 2025 class, Sanders slid all the way to the fifth round when he was taken 144th overall by Cleveland.
He joined a crowded QB room of Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel, who was taken in the third round of this year’s draft.
Starter Deshaun Watson is expected to miss significant time while he recovers from an Achilles injury.
The Browns host the Bengals in Week 1 and it remains to be seen who Cleveland’s QB1 will be.
