NFL rookie Shedeur Sanders failed to appear in court after speeding ticket, records show

Emmanuel Acho shares a message for Shedeur Sanders after Sanders' recent speeding citation, emphasizing the responsibility that comes with being a high-profile athlete and the example it sets for young players.

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has reportedly received two traffic tickets and failed to appear in court, according to police records obtained by Cleveland.com.

Sanders was pulled over Tuesday in Strongsville, Ohio, after his vehicle reached speeds of 101 mph in a 60 mph zone, the records show. 

It was revealed Sanders was also previously pulled over by Ohio State Highway Patrol in Medina, according to Medina Municipal Court records filed June 6, according to the outlet.

The records also indicate Sanders failed to appear at the June 13 arraignment for the first incident. 

According to FOX 8, Sanders was traveling northbound Interstate 71 near Cleveland at the time of the most recent incident. 

"He is taking care of the tickets," Browns spokesman Peter John-Baptiste told Cleveland.com. 

The former Colorado standout entered April's draft with many projecting him as a first-round selection. It took until the fifth round for the young signal-caller to hear his name called.

Sanders was drafted 144th overall by the Cleveland Browns. His slide in the draft began after the New York Giants traded up to 25 to select Jaxson Dart. Then, on day two, three other quarterbacks — Tyler Shough, Jalen Milroe and Dillon Gabriel — were all taken. Gabriel also went to the Browns.
