'Could've killed someone': Fans slam Shedeur Sanders over speeding apology and courtroom no-show

Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders finally addressed his two recent speeding violations and while he said the right words, many fans say he didn't mean them. Shedeur isn't just Deion Sanders' son, he's the presumed QB of the future in Cleveland and already a high-profile rookie.
But this string of off-field issues, combined with how he handles them in public, could shape how fans and media view him early in his career.
Browns QB Shedeur Sanders under fire for laughing during apology over reckless driving
The speeding alone was a warning. The second ticket, the court no-show, and now a half-smiled apology? That's starting to look like a pattern.
In a clip that surfaced Thursday night, Shedeur said:
'I've made some wrong choices, I can own up to it — I learn from them.'
On paper, it's accountability.
But the tone, complete with a casual laugh and a smirk had social media calling him out immediately. The vibe? Less 'I'm sorry,' more 'whatever.'
Back-to-back violations, no court appearance, and now a PR nightmare
Let's rewind:
Shedeur was pulled over going 99 mph just last week.
Days later, he got another ticket for driving over 100 mph at 12:24 a.m., just outside Cleveland.
Reports also say he didn't show up to court for one of the appearances, making fans question whether he really takes any of it seriously.
Now that he's finally speaking publicly, fans expected remorse. Instead, they got what many saw as a rehearsed apology with no emotion.
Others took it further, saying the apology was empty, and he's coming off like he doesn't understand the seriousness of reckless driving.

The replies turned into a back-and-forth about whether criticism is valid concern or racially motivated policing of a young Black quarterback.
Everyone makes mistakes, especially young players under pressure. But NFL fans are ruthless, and once they feel like someone isn't taking responsibility, they start sharpening the knives.
If Shedeur Sanders wants to win over Cleveland and the league, it's going to take more than a quick soundbite. The apology is step one, the attitude that follows will say more than any words can.
