Colin Cowherd Announces His Final Decision On Shedeur Sanders
Colin Cowherd Announces His Final Decision On Shedeur Sanders originally appeared on The Spun. Fox Sports 1 host Colin Cowherd has announced a final decision on Shedeur Sanders. Sanders, the Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback, was pulled over by police early on Tuesday morning. Sanders, a fifth round NFL Draft pick, was allegedly driving more than 100 MPH in a 55 MPH zone. He was issued a citation and could appear in court, if he chooses to fight it. Advertisement It's safe to say that Sanders' chances of making the Browns have taken a hit. On Thursday, Fox Sports 1 host Colin Cowherd reacted to the incident, making it clear where he now stands on the Cleveland Browns quarterback. Colin Cowherd speaking Cowherd announced that he is officially "done" with the Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback following his speeding incident in Northern Ohio earlier this week. Cowherd, who has been critical of several Browns quarterbacks in the past, admitted that he can no longer "trust" the son of the legendary NFL star, Deion Sanders. "Shedeur Sanders got caught speeding over 100 MPH. Don't minimize it, don't pander. This is not good for a quarterback," he said on his "The Herd" show on Thursday afternoon, June 19. Advertisement "I do not cling to opinions. New information, new opinion. I don't think about him the same. When you fall to (pick) 144 in the draft, and then you try to match that number behind the wheel of a car, I don't think the same. "You ignored signs about Manziel and Baker. And, apparently, based on the traffic violation, Shedeur was avoiding some signs, too - that say stop. I'm not sure he's mature enough. Now I'm going to have to like Kenny Pickett." The Browns appear to be sticking with Sanders for now, though it wouldn't at all be surprising to hear that this speeding incident impacts his chances of making the roster. Advertisement Sanders, who starred collegiately at Colorado and Jackson State, is already facing an uphill battle. He's probably the No. 4 quarterback on the roster right now, behind Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel, who was drafted ahead of him. The No. 4 quarterback on the roster can't afford to get caught speeding more than 100 MPH. Colin Cowherd Announces His Final Decision On Shedeur Sanders first appeared on The Spun on Jun 19, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jun 19, 2025, where it first appeared.
