Sanders was clocked driving 26 mph over the speed limit on I-71 south in Medina County, 12 days before the rookie QB was cited for speeding in Strongsville.
CLEVELAND — The Ohio State Highway Patrol on Friday released body camera video of Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders being cited for speeding in Medina County — 12 days before he was caught by Strongsville police driving 101 mph on Interstate 71 north.
The 4 1/2 minutes of edited footage show the moment OSHP troopers pulled over Sanders for driving 91 in a 65 mph zone on June 5.
The traffic stop was initiated just before 5:15 p.m. on I-71 south in Brunswick Hills Township. According to court records, Sanders did not appear at his scheduled court appearance on Monday. He is required to pay $269 in court fees.
Sanders’ Medina County ticket came 12 days prior to the Browns’ fifth-round draft pick being hit with a speeding ticket in Strongsville. Police clocked Sanders’ Dodge Ram TRX going 41 mph over the speed limit near the Ohio Turnpike bridge on Tuesday. Records show he paid his $250 fine for that ticket on Wednesday.
On Thursday, the Browns told 3News that they have addressed the citations with Sanders directly and “the tickets will be handled by him in the appropriate manner.”
WHAT THE NEW BODYCAM VIDEO SHOWS
At 5:14 p.m. on June 5, a Strongsville police cruiser is seen following Sanders’ truck off a highway exit and activating its lights.
Police pull Sanders’ Ram over on South Weymouth Road and the video cuts to one of the two officers telling Sanders how fast he was driving.
“You floored down, I heard your truck rev up,” he tells Sanders.
After the officer questions Sanders’ Mississippi ID card, the QB, who is mostly obstructed from view in the footage, attempts to explain his background. (Sanders played two seasons for his father Deion at Jackson State University in Mississippi before being drafted out of Colorado.)
The officers’ partner indicates to Sanders, “He doesn’t know who you are.”
“I went to college [in Mississippi],” Sanders says.
“Oh, Sanders,” the officer replies. “Gotcha. That makes more sense.”
The video then shows the officer requesting Sanders’ insurance and registration. It cuts to the moment he issues Sanders his ticket and informs him of his June 16 court date.
