Shedeur Sanders’ 101 MPH Speeding Bust Caught on Bodycam, Sparks NFL Rookie Concerns

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons after bodycam footage revealed a high-speed encounter with Ohio police. On June 17, Sanders was clocked driving a jaw-dropping 101 mph in a 60 mph zone, while a woman, identified as Jasmine Hammond, trailed at 92 mph in a separate vehicle. The officer, showing leniency, let Hammond off with a warning and spared Sanders a ticket, citing his dashcam evidence but opting for mercy. "I’m gonna cut you a break," the officer said, though he noted the gravity of Sanders’ speed.

This wasn’t Sanders’ first brush with the law. Police records show he was pulled over for speeding twice in June, with the first incident on June 6 leading to a missed court appearance on June 13. Speaking at teammate David Njoku’s charity softball game, Sanders owned up to his missteps, saying, "I made some wrong choices personally, and I can own up to them." The son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, the young quarterback is navigating a rocky start to his professional career.

Drafted 144th overall in the fifth round by the Browns, Sanders’ slide in the 2025 NFL Draft raised eyebrows. Pre-draft concerns about his character lingered, with an anonymous coach slamming his "entitled" demeanor and poor interview performance. A CBS analyst also recounted Sanders skipping a production meeting before a college game, fueling doubts about his professionalism. Now, as he vies for the Browns’ starting quarterback role against veterans like Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett, these off-field incidents add pressure to an already scrutinized rookie season.
