This is Singleton's third season with the Broncos. He was recently named one of six teams captain. Singleton has turned into one of the top tackling linebackers in the NFL, and made a career-high 177 total stops last year, third-most in the league.
Singleton helped Montana State win consecutive Big Sky Conference championships in 2011 and 2012 prior to a stint in the Canadian Football League, where he was the league's defensive MVP, a two-time all-star and won a Grey Cup championship in 2018 with the Calgary Stampeders.
Singleton broke into the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he served as a team captain in 2021. Singleton recently singed a three-year $18 million contract to remain with the Broncos.
