STRONGSVILLE, Ohio — Browns rookie and former CU Buffs star quarterback Shedeur Sanders is accused of driving a pickup truck 101 mph on a suburban Cleveland interstate earlier this week.
The Strongsville Police Department stopped Sanders at about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday in a 60 mph zone on Interstate 71 near the Ohio Turnpike, according to a report provided to local media.
Sanders, 23, 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 (144th overall) of the NFL draft this spring out of CU, even though many projections had him going in the first round. He left Boulder after breaking multiple Buffs passing records and getting his number retired at Folsom Field.
Sanders is competing against three other quarterbacks with the Browns. They wrapped up minicamp last week and will open training camp in late July.
