The next few months could be crucial in determining whether Shedeur Sanders has a chance to be a star in the NFL or will be out of the league entirely.
The Colorado Buffaloes football product was earning praise from coach Kevin Stefanski and his teammates for his maturity and work ethic, but a recent pair of excessive speeding tickets has cast doubt on whether he's ready to be the leader of a franchise.
The Cleveland Browns seem content with giving Shedeur the summer to figure everything out on and off the field, but does he have enough time to regain the lost equity and climb up the depth chart?
One famous rapper and entrepreneur showed Shedeur some love before quickly making a grave comparison.
On former Browns QB Robert Griffin III's "Outta Pocket" podcast, the legendary Ice Cube shared some blunt analysis of Shedeur's recent infractions.
"He's got a great pedigree—he's the son of an NFL Hall of Famer," Ice Cube said. "Don't go 100 mph. The Raiders had a player named Henry Ruggs who killed a lady, and it ended his football career. Nothing good happens at 100 mph. Slow it down a little bit, youngster."
Although alluding to Ruggs might be jarring at first, Ice Cube's analysis was flawless.
At that speed, it's almost impossible to control even the most advanced vehicles, and Shedeur's lucky no one, including himself, was hurt by his repeated recklessness.
The incident has been polarizing in the media since it was made public, but what matters most is that Shedeur learns from his mistakes.
The 23-year-old shouldn't need Ice Cube to tell him to reevaluate his habits.
