Journey to Greatness: Mike Singletary

Hall of Famer Mike Singletary reflects on overcoming size doubts to become a legendary Chicago Bears linebacker.

Mike Singletary stood under six feet tall. Scouts questioned whether he could make it at the highest level. He responded with 1,300 career tackles, 10 Pro Bowl appearances, and a ring with the legendary 1985 Bears defense. Singletary's passion for football ignited in Houston during the mid-1970s, and he never let his size define his ceiling. Today he channels that same intensity into teaching the next generation how to play the game safely and effectively.
