Former Lions wide receiver Titus Young has been sentenced to four years in prison in a 2016 assault case.
Young, 27, was arrested in January 2016 for allegedly participating in a street fight in Los Angeles. He pleaded no contest to a battery charge and sentenced to four years in a California prison.
Young was released by the Lions in February 2013 and claimed by the Rams on waivers, though he was released again less than two weeks later.
Young’s legal troubles began in May 2013, when he was arrested three times in five days, including twice in the same day.
