Here's hoping he can turn his life around and become a success. He's still a young man, so hoping for the best.
I'm with you on this. I think he would have been a real disruptor on the defensive line like he was at Michigan State, but he's got a drinking problem.
My guess is he was drinking when he crashed that 4 wheeler and is lucky to be alive. I hope and pray the young man gets his life together, and if he hasn't, no team should sign him because they'd just be giving him more resources to kill himself.
I don't care that he didn't work out for us, IMHO, he was a worthwhile risk in the 2nd round because he is extremely talented. But you can't always predict when someone has behavioral problems that bad. And I doubt the Seahawks were given any honest evaluation by Michigan State Athletics.
Remember, his Head Coach at Michigan State got in all kinds of trouble for alleged rule violations. I have a feeling he hid all of Malik's emotional health problems to cover his own butt. He likely told the Seahawks something along the lines of "Oh yeah, he's an elite player, and a good young man who just needs a support system."
I wonder how bad of shape he was that Dallas wouldn't sign him? Hope he gets well.
Dantonio:
"Blackwell is currently suing Dantonio, former athletic director Mark Hollis, former president Lou Anna Simon and two university police detectives in a suit alleging wrongful termination and unlawful arrest.
That suit stems from a February 2017 investigation related to an alleged sexual assault involving three Spartans football players. Blackwell was arrested by two university police for what they deemed to be interfering with an investigation and was suspended with pay."
