Sports Pulse
Shedeur Sanders' first NFL offseason continues to be an eventful one.
The Cleveland Browns' fifth-round rookie quarterback was cited for speeding over 100 mph early Tuesday morning, according to a citation obtained by USA TODAY.
Sanders, 23, was caught driving 101 mph in a 60 mph speed limit zone in Strongsville, Ohio, a city in Cuyahoga County, around 12:30 a.m. on June 17.

Giants expect star wideout Nabers (toe) to be ready for training camp
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that he isn't concerned about star wide receiver Malik Nabers' availability for training camp. Daboll said the team is aware of Nabers' ailing toe, an injury that he has dealt with dating back to his college days at LSU. But, the coach said Nabers is 'doing good' despite the second-year player sitting out both organized team activities and minicamp due to the injury. 'Every person's at a different part in -- we'll call it rehab, if you will -- rehab,' Daboll said. 'We just did what we thought was best for Malik to try to get him as healthy as we can.' Nabers, 21, set an NFL rookie-record for wide receivers with 109 catches last season, which also was a franchise mark with the Giants. He totaled 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games (13 games) en route to being named to the Pro Bowl. The Giants selected Nabers with the sixth overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Browns rookie quarterback Sanders cited for driving 101 mph
Police cited Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders for driving 41 miles over the posted speed limit in the early hours Tuesday after the 23-year-old was clocked at 101 mph by the Strongsville Police Department in Ohio. Police records indicated that Sanders was stopped at 12:24 a.m. local time for exceeding the 60 mph limit in his black Dodge TRX truck in Strongsville, located about 20 miles southwest of Cleveland. As a result, he must either pay a $250 fine for the fourth-degree misdemeanor or dispute the ticket in court on July 3. A projected first-round pick in April's NFL draft after throwing for 4,134 yards (fourth in FBS) and 37 touchdowns (second) at Colorado, Sanders was selected by Cleveland in the fifth round after the Browns also drafted Oregon's Dillon Gabriel in the third.

Shedeur Sanders cited for speeding in Cleveland after Browns' minicamp
Shedeur Sanders cited for speeding in Cleveland after Browns' minicamp Shedeur Sanders has had expectations of excellence placed on him since he was young, but he may have more eyes on him now than he ever did before. However, after his historic draft slide, Sanders has done nothing but impress fans, coaches, and teammates up to this point. That's why it's unfortunate to see that Sanders' first mistake as Brown happened earlier this week. The rookie quarterback was pulled over and given a citation for driving 101 mph in a 60 mph zone in Cleveland early Tuesday morning. Fox 8 Cleveland broke the news and released a video of the incident, where Sanders remained calm and fully cooperated with the officers. During a back-and-forth, the two officers involved discussed Sanders' speed and his connection to his father, Deion Sanders. "Has he been cool with you?" one officer asks the other about Sanders' cooperation, to which the primary officer involved responds, "Yeah, he's been real cool." Sanders was not cited for driving under the influence, and the rest of the stop played out as usual. Due to the extreme level that Sanders was found to be over the speed limit, he faces a $250 fine, or he can choose to fight it in court. There is almost no doubt that Sanders, who admitted to his mistake in the video, will quickly pay the fine and put this incident behind him so he can refocus on football. Sanders is competing in a loaded Browns quarterback room filled with veterans Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and fellow rookie Dillion Gabriel.
