Shedeur Sanders was forced to explain who he is to an Ohio cop who recently pulled over the NFL rookie for speeding.
The 23-year-old is the son of ex-NFL and MLB star Deion Sanders. The quarterback was recently selected by the Cleveland Browns following a humiliating slide to the fifth round of the NFL draft.
Since then, Sanders has continued to make headlines for the wrong reasons. Twice this month the quarterback has been pulled over for speeding.
One of the incidents saw Sanders stopped for allegedly going 91mph in a 65mph zone in Medina County, Ohio. It came on June 5, with the rookie pulled over in the Cleveland suburb of Brunswick Hills by the Ohio State Patrol.
In new footage, obtained by TMZ, the 23-year-old is seen handing over an out-of-state ID to a trooper, who asks: ‘What’s with the Mississippi ID?’
Sanders then explains that he used to play college football in Jackson. He was the quarterback at Jackson State before moving to Colorado with his father.

‘He doesn’t know who you are,’ the other cop told the 23-year-old before his partner joined the dots.
‘Oh. Sanders. Gotcha,’ he said. Sanders’ fame did not save him from punishment, however.
He faces $269 in fines and court costs over the incident but failed to show in court for his arraignment, according to Cleveland.com.
The arraignment was scheduled for June 16 and just one day later he was pulled over again. The Browns rookie was reportedly cited for speeding over 100mph in Cleveland.
Local news station Fox9 claims Sanders, who was infamously selected 144th overall at this year’s NFL Draft despite initially being projected as a first-round pick, was pulled over by an officer at around 12:24 am in the Cleveland suburb of Strongsville on Tuesday, June 17.
The 23-year-old quarterback was allegedly clocked driving at 101mph, 41 miles over the speed limit.
