Browns rookie QB Shedeur Sanders ticketed for speeding twice in June
STRONGSVILLE, Ohio (AP) — Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has been ticketed for speeding twice this month in Ohio.
Sanders was accused of driving a Dodge TRX pickup truck 101 mph (163 kilometers per hour) 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 (97 kilometers per hour) 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.
But it wasn't the first time he'd been pulled over for allegedly speeding since joining the Browns.
That ticket came after he was stopped by the Ohio State Patrol on June 5 in Brunswick Hills, Ohio. Sanders was pulled over for going 91 mph (147 kilometers per hour) in a 65 mph (105 kilometer) zone, Ohio State Patrol told
WKBN-TV
.
According to Medina Municipal Court records, Sanders failed to appear for an arraignment for that ticket on Monday and owes $269 in court costs.
Browns spokesman Peter John- Baptiste told
Cleveland.com
Thursday that: 'he is taking care of the tickets.'
Sanders, the son of Hall of Fame player Deion Sanders, was drafted in the
fifth round
(144th overall) of the NFL draft this spring, even though many projections had him going in the first round. He played under his father at the University of Colorado.
Sanders is
competing
against three other quarterbacks with the Browns. They wrapped up minicamp last week and will open training camp in late July.

Browns Make Decision On Shedeur Sanders After Two Speeding Incidents
Browns Make Decision On Shedeur Sanders After Two Speeding Incidents originally appeared on The Spun. Colin Cowherd says he's "done" with Shedeur Sanders following the rookie quarterback's two speeding incidents in Ohio this month. But are the Cleveland Browns? The Fox Sports 1 host said on his Thursday, June 19 show that he is officially done with the 23-year-old rookie quarterback. "Shedeur Sanders got caught speeding over 100 MPH. Don't minimize it, don't pander. This is not good for a quarterback," he said on his "The Herd" show on Thursday afternoon, June 19. "I do not cling to opinions. New information, new opinion. I don't think about him the same. When you fall to (pick) 144 in the draft, and then you try to match that number behind the wheel of a car, I don't think the same. "You ignored signs about Manziel and Baker. And, apparently, based on the traffic violation, Shedeur was avoiding some signs, too - that say stop. I'm not sure he's mature enough. Now I'm going to have to like Kenny Pickett." But while Cowherd has said he's done with Sanders, are the Cleveland Browns done, too? The Browns are standing by Sanders - for now. A spokesman for the Cleveland Browns told that Sanders is handling his speeding tickets, while remaining a member of the franchise. "He is taking care of the tickets," team spokesman Peter John-Baptiste told the media outlet. Sanders, who slipped into the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft - he was the second quarterback taken by the Browns, who selected Dillon Gabriel out of Oregon - is still facing an uphill battle to make the roster. The Browns have Gabriel, Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett also at the quarterback position. Flacco and Pickett feel like locks to make the Week 1 roster. So, it could be Gabriel and Sanders fighting it out for the QB3 spot. Cleveland could decide to keep four quarterbacks, which is apparently a possibility, according to team insider Mary Kay Cabot, but that would be a rarity for an NFL team. 'Thanks in part to low base salaries and cap numbers for all of them, they can afford to keep all four from a financial standpoint, and it also makes sense from a roster building standpoint,' Cabot wrote. Sanders has work to do off the field, though. He must pay a $250 fine for the fourth-degree misdemeanor or fight the ticket in Strongsville Mayor's Court on July 3, following his latest speeding incident. The Browns are coming off a highly disappointing 3-14 season in 2024.

Colin Cowherd Slams Shedeur Sanders' 101 MPH Blunder
Colin Cowherd Slams Shedeur Sanders' 101 MPH Blunder originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When you are as polarizing as quarterback Shedeur Sanders, almost everything you do gets put into the spotlight. Advertisement That's exactly what the Cleveland Browns rookie has been dealing with throughout the last couple of years. Most recently, he was cited for speeding early Tuesday morning for allegedly driving over 100 mph. According to police records, Sanders was traveling at 101 mph, 41 miles over the speed limit, and was stopped at about 12:24 a.m. Fox personality Colin Cowherd is notorious for having loud takes on NFL quarterbacks, particularly towards younger players and he unleashed on Sanders following the news. 'Mike Tomlin often says two is a trend. Can't score up three or four times, two is a trend,' Cowherd said. 'Just two times. I'm not sure if I need two times when you're a young quarterback. One bad judgment turns me off, but I have now, in the last couple months, two things that really turn me off with Shedeur Sanders.' Advertisement To Cowherd's defense, an NFL quarterback is typically viewed as the face of the franchise, and being a leader is vital. Despite the talent Sanders has shown on film, Cowherd is out on him, saying he's not sure if the former Colorado Buffalo is mature enough. 'That cringy awful 'legendary' draft room. Bro, you're a B prospect. Your dad is 'Primetime' who led with his ego for years, you have to have a little self-awareness. I had more than one GM say 'total turnoff.'. It's not the end of the world, but it's a bad look,' Cowherd said. 'And now this, 100 miles an hour. Yup, all you fanboys, go ahead, Manziel, Baker, and Deshaun Watson, defended it to the hilt on your Reddit account. Sorry, don't minimize it, this is not good for a quarterback.' Sanders already faced an uphill battle to see the field as a rookie, but this likely hurts his chances, at least for the near future. The Browns clearly believe in him, however, veteran Joe Flacco is expected to start week one with Kenny Pickett not too far behind.

Lawyer who once defended drug kingpin ‘El Chapo' questions critics of her judicial victory
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — Of the roughly 2,600 judges elected for the first time by Mexicans earlier this month, Silvia Delgado García received more attention than almost any other because she once helped represent drug kingpin Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán. That single client in a nearly two decade career as a criminal defense attorney in Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas, made Delgado standout in the historic June 1 election, name recognition that may have helped her victory formally certified Thursday. Delgado won a spot as a criminal court judge in Ciudad Juarez in the June 1 election. At Thursday's ceremony, Delgado smiled, got emotional and received hugs. Speaking to reporters later, she said it was time for her defense work to stop being described as a 'tie' to the drug lord. She was just doing her job, she said. 'The only thing that we do is a job,' she said. 'The decision to enter in this electoral process was very simple: I wanted to strengthen my career helping the community. I've helped so many here, helping defend.' In 2016, Delgado García was a member of Sinaloa cartel leader Guzmán's legal team when he was temporarily held in a prison in Ciudad Juarez before being extradited to the United States. He was eventually tried, convicted and sentenced to life in prison in the U.S. Some critics of electing judges, and a human rights litigation group called Defensorxs, had labeled Delgado García 'high risk' before the vote, because 'she defends alleged drug traffickers.' Hailed as a way to make corrupt judges accountable to the people and clean up Mexico's judiciary by former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the historic elections that covered more than 2,600 positions ranging up to the country's Supreme Court, drew only a paltry 13% voter participation. Critics feared it would politicize the judiciary and offer organized crime an easier path to influencing judicial decisions. Mexico's governing Morena party was poised to gain control of the Supreme Court as a majority of the winners had strong ties to the party or were aligned ideologically. On Thursday, Delgado noted that she had been called out for petitioning the court that Guzmán be given a blanket in prison. 'Is it bad that if a person is not accustomed to the cold that he have a blanket?' she asked. 'I have been in the eye of the hurricane for that reason.' Error!
