Eric Mangini isn’t racing to sentence Shedeur Sanders after a few dashing tickets.
The previous Browns head coach downplayed the importance of Sanders getting cited twice for dashing – as soon as for driving 91 miles per hour in a 65 mph zone and as soon as for going 101 in a 60 – in the course of the rookie quarterback’s first two months in Cleveland.
“I don’t love it from a fifth-round draft pick,” Mangini stated throughout a Friday look on “The Herd” with Colin Cowherd on FS1. “I don’t love that it’s occurred a number of instances.
“I do think this is the first time he’s away from his dad and there’s going to be some growing pains. Would I sell my stock on it like you are? No, because of a couple speeding tickets — especially in the light of the problems the Browns quarterback room had had to deal with legally in the last few years — this is nothing.”
It’s straightforward to jot down it off as “nothing” as a result of nobody was significantly injured in both incident.
However dashing, when it results in accidents and accidents, takes on one other narrative.
The Browns have addressed the incident internally with Sanders and he’s “taking care of the tickets,” in keeping with a Cleveland.com report.
“I’ve made some wrong choices personally, I can own up to them,” Sanders stated when requested about his dashing tickets this week. “I made some not great choices. I learn from them. I learned.”
Sanders grew up within the highlight as Corridor of Famer Deion Sanders’ son and performed below his dad’s teaching at Jackson State and Colorado.
He grew to become a lightning rod in the course of the NFL draft when he slipped from a projected first-round decide to a fifth-round choice who reportedly was No. 4 on the Browns’ quarterback depth chart – behind Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco and rookie third-rounder Dillon Gabriel – throughout spring exercises.
“This is, in fairness to Shedeur, the first time he’s been outside his dad’s overview, his dad’s house,” Mangini stated. “I think he was his high school, then his college coach … This is like any kid who’s away from home for the first time. There’s going to be a couple hiccups here and there.”
Mangini went 10-22 as Browns head coach in 2009-10, with Derek Anderson, Brady Quinn, Seneca Wallace, Jake Delhomme and Colt McCoy as his quarterbacks.
Since then, the Browns have handled Johnny Maziel — who was minimize after substance-abuse points and a home violence arrest — and Deshaun Watson, who was suspended by the NFL for the primary 11 video games after he was acquired in a commerce from the Texans attributable to allegations of sexual misconduct raised by about two dozen therapeutic massage therapists.
Watson, who stays on the Browns roster however may miss the total season attributable to damage, was cleared by a grand jury and settled a lot of the civil lawsuits towards him.
