Former Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Malik McDowell has been sentenced to 11 months in jail and three years of probation after pleading guilty last month to a series of crimes earlier this year in Michigan, court records show.
As part of McDowell's sentencing Wednesday in Oakland County (Michigan) Circuit Court, a judge also ordered him to write four essays within the next 90 days.
The 23-year-old McDowell never played a down for Seattle after injuring his head in an ATV accident in July of 2017, three months after the Seahawks drafted him 35th overall out of Michigan State.
