Shedeur Sanders has been dealt another blow amid being caught by cops recklessly speeding on Tuesday.
The quarterback, who fell to the fifth round of the NFL Draft before being selected by the Browns, was ticketed for allegedly driving 101mph in a 60mph zone, according to a citation viewed by the Daily Mail.
And the quarterback has also received a setback on the football field, as one Browns insider believes he is currently fourth in the team’s pecking order at the position.
After watching the latest minicamp, Cleveland.com’s Ashley Bastock said she felt ‘no different’ about the quarterback compeтιтion, with Kenny Pickett leading the way, rookie Dillon Gabriel behind him, Joe Flacco in third and Sanders behind the veteran.
Pickett, a former first-round pick with the Eagles, has reportedly seen the majority of first-team reps, while Sanders is yet to take the field with the starters.
However, the outlook on Sanders wasn’t all bad as Bastock said he ‘made the most of his reps’ with reserve players and ‘did what he needed to do’ to potentially see first-team reps in this summer’s training camp.

Nonetheless, ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi previously reported that Sanders’ roster spot isn’t ‘guaranteed’ after the Browns were able to select him with the No. 144 pick.
While he was at one point mooted to be an early first-round pick, Sanders reportedly rubbed teams the wrong way in meetings, while he also chose not to throw at the Combine.
Ultimately, he signed a four-year, $4.6 million deal with Cleveland that included his $447,000 signing bonus – which represents the only guaranteed portion of the deal.
By comparison, тιтans’ No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward – viewed as Sanders’ rival through long periods of the draft process – signed a four-year, fully guaranteed $48.8million deal with Tennessee.
It’s not clear how much Sanders’ ticket is for, though he can either chose to pay the fine or fight the ticket in court.

Sanders and another driver identified as Jasmine Hammond were pulled over in the early hours of Tuesday morning in the Cleveland suburb of Strongsville, according to the citation.
Hammond’s relation to Sanders is unclear, but one officer is heard describing her in the footage as the former Colorado star’s girlfriend.
The citation lists Hammond’s speed as 92mph, though an officer decided against ticketing Hammond, who is seen in footage of the traffic stop parked in her car behind Sanders’ pickup truck in the clip.
‘I’m gonna cut you a break,’ the officer told Sanders. ‘I’m not going to give her a ticket… but 101, I got a dash cam and stuff, man, like…’
The first-year quarterback responded respectfully: ‘I know.’
Daily Mail previously reached out to the Browns and Sanders’ representatives for comment.
