Any good faith that Colorado Buffaloes football legend Shedeur Sanders accumulated with his stellar work in the Cleveland Browns' minicamp has evaporated over the last 48 hours.
Public police records showed the rookie signal-caller got a speeding ticket for going 41 mph over the posted speed limit.
But it turned out that was his second speeding infraction of the month.
One Shedeur driving mistake was always going to create some buzz in the mainstream media, but no one was harmed, and most young people across the country have been guilty of reaching triple digits in a vehicle.
The fact that it ended up being his second violation created a much different response, with one veteran NFL voice putting the 23-year-old on blast.
In a recent online edition of "Pro Football Talk," NBC's Mike Florio shared his frustration with the latest Shedeur drama.
Florio claimed Sanders displayed a “lack of awareness.”
"Shedeur Sanders is as deep into the public eye as you can be," Florio said. "It just speaks to a lack of awareness. You have to understand how your behavior is going to result in consequences. After everything he's been through, you would think he would've figured it out by now. One, fine; two, come on, man."
Everything from the questionable behavior in the pre-draft process that caused his embarrassing plummet down the board to these consecutive driving mishaps screams a person who is grossly out of touch with the reality around him.
Shedeur has talent, but he's not an Andrew Luck-esque prospect either. He's already starting on a short leash because of his questionable decisions and his play on the field, and this is how he responds.
The Browns will keep him around because he is printing money for the franchise with his fame, but another mishap like this and the brain trust upstairs will likely not care how much merch sales he generates.
It's time for Shedeur to grow up.
