Cleveland Brown defensive tackle Malik McDowell, 25, was arrested on Monday and faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest by force, and public exposure, according to Broward County (Florida) prison records.
McDowell reportedly attacked a deputy and left him “dazed,” the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported.
McDowell, who was a second-round draft pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2017 out of Michigan State, got a second chance in the NFL earlier this year with the Cleveland Browns after he sat out of football for a few years.
McDowell played in 14 of the 15 games this season and had 33 tackles, three sacks and five quarterback hits.
The Browns issued the following statement on McDowell’s arrest:
“We are aware of the very concerning incident and arrest involving Malik McDowell and are in the process of gathering more information. We understand the severity of this matter and our thoughts are for the well-being of all involved. … No further comment at this time.”

What a tremendous waste of talent and opportunity. Mental health is important & I hope he gets help. But his career surely is over now…
