Malik McDowell is getting another shot in the NFL.
The former Michigan State defensive tackle and Southfield High graduate, who was a second-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks in 2017, was signed by the Cleveland Browns on Monday.
McDowell has not played in an NFL game, suffering an injury in an ATV accident the summer after he was drafted and eventually being waived from the non-football injury list in 2018. The Seahawks released McDowell in 2019.
His release came as McDowell was in the midst of several legal issues.
He was convicted of drunken driving in February of 2018 and then in February of 2019, McDowell was involved in an altercation at a gas station with Lathrup Village police.
