Mike Singletary: Baylor University’s Defensive Icon

Before becoming the heart of the Chicago Bears’ defense, Mike Singletary was a standout linebacker at Baylor University. Known for his intensity, discipline, and football IQ, Singletary earned multiple All-American honors and became the centerpiece of Baylor’s defense.

At Baylor, Singletary’s leadership skills were evident both on and off the field. He demonstrated an ability to read offenses, inspire teammates, and consistently deliver in critical situations. These traits became hallmarks of his NFL career and were crucial to the Bears’ historic 1985 Super Bowl defense.
