For Michigan State football fans who were disappointed about the NFL draft, we have a positive story for you. Malik McDowell, the former Spartan defensive tackle who was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the second round of the 2017 NFL draft, has been signed by the Cleveland Browns.

McDowell’s story has been a sad one for Spartan fans to watch these past few years, after he had some issues with the law that led to him leaving the NFL in 2018. In March, his agent said that McDowell was looking for a return to the league and just two months later he found this opportunity with the Browns, where he will join fellow Spartan Jack Conklin.
