The sad saga of Malik McDowell’s time since leaving Michigan State continues, as he was just sentenced to three months in an Oakland County jail. He will also have to write three essays as well. The former Spartan Football recruit from 2014 pleaded guilty in October to two charges of resisting arrest, possessing a stolen vehicle, and operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Finally, he’ll also have three years of probation.

It’s a little unique to have McDowell write the essays in addition to his time in jail. Here are the topics: finding the meaning in life other than committing crimes; the importance of respecting the rule of law and the principles of the Declaration of Independence and how your behavior undermines them.

“There are still (NFL) teams interested,” McDowell’s attorney Mitchell Ribitwer said. “So if he can get himself together, maybe he can be in the NFL or XFL or something. Personally, I think he’s committed to it. He’s a nice young man.”
