Speeding ticket issued to Myles Garrett after allegedly driving 100 mph in recent Browns traffic incident
Cleveland Browns' Myles Garrett Cited for Speeding, Team Vows to Address Issue
The Cleveland Browns are facing a speeding issue within their ranks, as defensive end Myles Garrett was recently cited for driving 100 mph in a 60 mph zone, resulting in a $250 fine. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski called the incident "extremely disappointing," emphasizing the need for Garrett to slow down for his safety and others'[1][2][3].
Garrett's latest speeding incident is not an isolated occurrence. Since 2017, the defensive end has been cited for speeding at least eight times, including citations for driving 120 mph and 105 mph on consecutive days in 2021. In 2022, Garrett was involved in a serious car crash caused partly by "unsafe speed for the type of roadway," driving 65 mph in a 45 mph zone, which led to injuries and a citation for "failure to control his motor vehicle"[1][2][3].
The Browns will address the issue while they are in Philadelphia for joint practices with the Eagles on Wednesday and Thursday. Browns general manager Andrew Berry called Garrett's speeding incidents "not smart" and emphasized the potential danger of speeding, particularly in terms of endangering other people and reducing reaction time[4].
Rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, on the other hand, has not been associated with any speeding incidents or similar news, according to the latest available data.
The incident involving Garrett occurred shortly after 2 a.m. on Saturday, after the Browns returned from Carolina and their first preseason game. He was stopped by Strongsville police for speeding while driving a gray 2014 Ferrari[1][2]. The interaction between Garrett and the officer was cordial, and the ticket can be paid without having to go to court, or Garrett will have to appear in court on Thursday[1][2][3].
Berry addressed Sanders' speeding incidents with reporters during the second day of training camp, stating that Sanders understands the implications and consequences of his actions[4]. The Browns do not want their players to be speeding or engaging in dangerous driving behaviors, as emphasized by Berry[4].
