'Not Smart' - Shedeur Sanders Officially Called Out By Browns
Sanders is set to compete with three other quarterbacks for the starting job in training camp and the preseason, but he raised eyebrows during the offseason for the wrong reasons.
The rookie quarterback was cited for two separate speeding tickets this offseason, issues that caused some to question his maturity - and perhaps to justify why he was selected in the fifth round of the draft.
The Browns are standing by Sanders despite the controversy, but general manager Andrew Berry acknowledged the issue on Thursday at the team's practice facility.
"Not smart. Just not smart," Berry said while speaking to reporters.
"It's something that we've addressed with him. Look, he understands the implications, he understands the consequences. It's not just about yourself. It's not just about having a joyride, but that you could injure other people...a deer or something cuts out in front of you, your reaction time. It's just dangerous."
Sanders was officially cited twice for speeding in June. The first incident took place on June 5, when he was pulled over by the Ohio State Patrol, who said the quarterback was driving at 91 MPH in a 65 mph zone.
The second citation came in the middle of the month, and police records indicate that Sanders was driving at 101 MPH in a 60 mph zone.
Following his speeding violations, Sanders has been active in the Cleveland community. He organized a community event after a devastating fire that displaced more than 40 residents from an apartment complex in the city.
The "Garden Valley Fun Fest" included free food, games haircuts and more for local residents.
"I just wanted a day for everybody to get out here and have some type of enjoyment, excitement, bring just the family atmosphere back," Sanders said, speaking to News 5 Cleveland. The rookie attended the event with his teammate Mike Hall Jr., a former standout for the Ohio State Buckeyes.
We'll see how Sanders' rookie season goes as he embarks on his NFL journey.

New York Giants' Bryce Ford-Wheaton carted off after suffering ugly leg injury
The New York Giants have stiff competition at wide receiver in training camp, with multiple players vying for one or two spots at the backend of the depth chart. Among them is prized special teamer, Bryce Ford-Wheaton, who has dealt with several injuries throughout his young career. Misfortune again found Ford-Wheaton on Sunday when the receiver went down in serious pain during drills.

Jonathan Gannon is rebuilding the Arizona Cardinals playbook
Perhaps Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon believes a few playbook changes could help the team get over the hump in 2025. Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon is prepared to take the team franchise on an incline after 2024. With a roster full of dynamic talent on both offense and defense, Gannon has openly expressed his intent to restructure and expand the team playbook moving ahead. Gannon likely conveyed a few constructive comments toward offensive coordinator Drew Petzing who was piloting the team offensive play-calling last season. Petzing seemed to hit a wall in the last few games, especially in the passing attack. The Cardinals finished just No. 18 in team passing yards per game last season. Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and Greg Dortch were targeted at a combined total of 166 times throughout the season, with Harrison Jr. averaging 14.3 yards per catch and Dortch finishing with 9.2 yards per catch. An improved passing attack should definitely be an area of focus for the franchise heading into 2025. Ultimately, an optimized passing attack should minimize the interception totals for quarterback Kyler Murray and raise his general morale. Gannon explained in a press conference after Day 1 of training camp that the coaching staff will be picking up where they'd left off last season. In short, the many highlights on both sides of the ball need to be revisited and the bloopers on both sides of the ball need to be expunged. Ultimately, Gannon may want to abandon some of Petzing's tendencies and opt for a more traditional play style that both minimizes difficulty on third-downs and makes manageable chances for running backs Trey Benson and James Conner in the rushing attack. Changes on defense may also arise, including the usage of 4-3 instead of 3-4 on early downs.

Commanders fans make their presence felt at team's first open practice
The line of cars outside the Washington Commanders practice facility stretched far down the road outside well before 7 a.m. on Sunday. The sun had barely cracked the horizon when hundreds of fans were already streaming toward the team's first training camp practice open to the public. This seems to be the new reality for a franchise that not long ago could hardly draw anyone to an open camp day. Just three years ago, when the team opened practice, the hillsides beside the fields were essentially empty. But the crowds returned last summer with the hope that No. 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels could become the team's next great quarterback. This summer, after a run to last season's NFC championship game, an open practice is something many people want to see.
