BREAKING NEWSNFL Draft flop Shedeur Sanders caught by cops driving over 100mph in Cleveland

Browns rookie Shedeur Sanders was cited for speeding over 100mph in Cleveland on Tuesday morning, according to reports.

Local news station Fox9 claims Sanders, who was infamously selected 144th overall at this year’s NFL Draft despite initially being projected as a first-round pick, was pulled over by an officer at around 12:24 am in the Cleveland suburb of Strongsville on Tuesday, June 17.

The 23-year-old quarterback was allegedly clocked driving at 101mph, 41 miles over the posted speed limit. 

He was reportedly issued a citation, meaning he can either pay a fine or contest it in court.

DailyMail.com has reached out to the Cleveland Browns and Shedeur Sanders’ representatives for comment.

Sanders was tipped by many – his own father included – to be a top-five draft pick. But the former Colorado quarterback suffered one the most shocking slides in NFL history.

He was eventually selected by Cleveland in the fifth round with the 144th overall pick – not before the Browns had taken ex-Oregon star Gabriel.

Despite many insisting he was one of the two best quarterback options in the pool, Sanders ended up being the sixth pᴀsser selected overall.

According to CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones, his unenthusiastic approach to certain interviews ‘rubbed some teams the wrong way’ beforehand.

‘At some of those [combine] meetings with certain teams that maybe Shedeur Sanders didn’t really want to go to, I was told that he more or less sandbagged in those interviews,’ Jones said back in April.

‘I don’t know if he didn’t take them seriously, what it was, but he did not give it his all in some of those interviews. 

‘Rubbed some teams the wrong way.’

Sanders, who went 9-4 while throwing for 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns in his final year with Colorado, sparked concerns about his conduct in interviews prior to his embarrᴀssing draft snub. 

He was a lightning rod for some criticism for comments he made at the NFL Combine, which is where rumors of his ‘unprofessional’ behavior began.

‘We went from Jackson State to Colorado and changed two programs back-to-back,’ Sanders said at the combine. 

‘You don’t think I could come to an NFL franchise and change a program again? It’s history. It’s always going to repeat itself.’
