Ex-Michigan State DL Malik McDowell arrested on charges of public exposure, assaulting deputy

Malik McDowell's big chance with the Cleveland Browns has almost certainly ended.

The former Michigan State football defensive tackle with a long history of off-field trouble is highly unlikely to be retained as an exclusive rights free agent in March because of his latest brush with the law, a person familiar with the situation said Tuesday.

McDowell, 25, was arrested Monday by the Broward Sheriff’s Office on charges of exposing himself in public, resisting arrest with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer in Deerfield Beach, Florida, according to court records.
