Since he was accused of hitting an Ohio State fan after his final home game at Michigan 11 months ago, Taylor Lewan has insisted he was innocent. Now he has pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors in connection with the incident.
Lewan, who was the Titans’ first-round draft pick this year and is a starting offensive tackle, entered guilty pleas today to charges of disturbing the peace and being drunk and disorderly. He is scheduled for sentencing on December 15 and is expected to get probation.
The guilty plea is part of a deal with prosecutors. Lewan originally faced charges on one count of aggravated assault, and two counts of assault and battery.
Lewan is not expected to face NFL discipline, as the league generally does not impose discipline for crimes committed by players before they got to the NFL.
