In the video that can be viewed in the media player at the top of the story, the faces of a passenger in the front seat and back seat are blurred, as well as a dog.

In the video, the officer informed Watson that his speed was "a little fast for a warning" and issued him a citation. Watson appeared to be fully cooperative with the officer that pulled him over.

Watson is currently serving an 11-game suspension after agreeing to a settlement with the NFL for violating the league's personal conduct policy. The suspension comes as a result of multiple allegations of sexual misconduct during his time with the Houston Texans. The three-time Pro Bowl quarterback is currently facing two lawsuits related to the accusations and has previously settled 23 civil suits regarding the claims.

Last week, Watson was allowed to return to the Browns' facility and will be able to practice on Nov .14.

The quarterback is set to make his debut for the Browns on Sunday, Dec. 4, against his former team, the Texans.
