“Teaching Shedeur Sanders great things”: NFL fans react as Myles Garrett gets slapped with speeding ticket for going 100 MPH in Cleveland

Cleveland Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett was pulled over and issued a citation for speeding on Saturday, according to ESPN.

As per court records, Garrett was stopped at around 2:01 am in the suburb of Strongsville, Ohio, after going 100 mph in a 60-mph zone in his gray Ferrari. He was hit with a $250 fine, which he must pay to avoid a court hearing on Thursday.

The incident generated plenty of chatter on social media. A few fans brought up Shedeur Sanders, who was cited twice in June for speeding.

A spokesperson for the Browns told ESPN that the franchise was aware of the incident.

Garrett does not have an Ohio driver's license; instead, he has one from Texas, where he was born and raised.

Myles Garrett's speeding history

As it turns out, this is not the first time Myles Garrett has been cited for speeding.

Back in 2022, he totaled his Porsche in a single-car accident in Sharon Township, causing injuries to himself and a female passenger. WKYC, NBC's Cleveland-area affiliate, subsequently initiated an investigation that discovered at least seven past instances of Garrett speeding ever since he joined the Browns in 2017.

His first infractions occurred in 2018 in Strongsville, North Olmsted, and Delaware County, and he was also cited twice for driving with faulty parts.

In 2019, Garrett was flagged for driving 91 mph in a 60-mph zone on Interstate 71 in his Porsche. He was fined $302.

In May 2020, he drove 100 mph in a 65-mph zone on Interstate 77 in Summt County, was fined $308, and agreed to plead guilty to speeding in exchange for other charges against him being dropped. Two more incidents happened in 2021.
