Browns' Shedeur Sanders punishment revealed after double speeding tickets image

Shedeur Sanders already had plenty of attention on him.

The perception shifted some, though, when news emerged that he's been given a pair of speeding tickets since arriving with the Cleveland Browns.

He will likely be punished in some form, writes Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot.

"The Browns will address the tickets and possibly deliver some kind of consequences for conduct detrimental to the team, especially considering the second one came during rookie orientation," Cabot writes. "But I doubt his reps or status in the competition will be impacted."

The more concerning thing for Sanders at this point is his actual spot on the depth chart.

"He left minicamp as the fourth-team quarterback, and will likely open training camp the same way," Cabot writes. 

Sanders has to play his way past at least one of Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett or Dillon Gabriel to feel secure in earning a regular season roster spot. It's very tough for a team to carry four quarterbacks.

Most reports about Sanders' play during minicamp were positive. He's an extremely accurate thrower of the football.

But he'll likely have to show in the preseason that his issues with taking sacks in college can be mitigated at this level, or he may not rise up the charts.

And now he has to overcome some self-created adversity, too.
