Mike Singleterry was nowhere near 6' or 230 lbs. He was about 5'10" and closer to 210 lbs. I sat next to him everyday for a week during an FCA seminar in Tempe, AZ in 1987. At the time, I was a 5'11" 240 lb. college LB and I was bigger than Samuraui . He even commented on how his size was "padded" somewhat.
The thing I like about singletary is that he didint try to kill you like LTaylor or D butckis. He didnt try to end your career or severly hurt you. He just tackled you and was effective. He was a nice guy but intense. I remember watchin him sitting on the bench between plays reading a book. A true Intellect off and on the field.
@thetshirtblog He was 6 ft 230lbs.. That's not undersized at all for an NFL linebacker. Most linebackers are between 230 and 245. He may have been a few inches shorter than the normal LB, as most are around 6'2" but he defintely wasn't undersized.
@thetshirtblog Singletary would be undersized as an outside linebacker in the 3-4 scheme, as those boys are mainly built for pass rushing. But in a standard 4-3, he would be average size. i.e. Stephen Tulloch of the Tennessee Titans, he's only 5'11" 235lbs. But yea, linebackers are much bigger in today's game; LaMarr Woodley 6'2" 265 (Steelers), Brian Cushing 6'3" 260 (Texans), Aaron Curry 6'2" 255 (Seahawks), Brian Orakpo 6'4" 255 (Redskins), or Jason Hunter 6'4" 271 (Broncos).
mike is he shit but Mr. Patrick Willis is better don't believe me . The man Singletary said so himself. or should i say that he will be better Willis is better than Ray Lewis also go look at the stats
Dayum! I've hated the Niners since I can remember -- but I'm a fan now. This man is the real deal. I've had the pleasure of meeting him, and know a lot of people who played with him at Baylor, and it's not just hype.
Never a Bears fan, but this man embodies what football is all about. I'd love to play for him, and love my kid to play for him. Fierce competitor and motivator.
YES!!!!!!!! HE IS A LEGEND AND HE HAS MY LAST NAME!!!!!!!!! whenever i tell people my last name their like, "do you know mike?" i don't know him but it's still fun
@37NAU you are right. He admitted that his height and weight were "padded".

@SexSteakSoda Yeah, I was being a troll. 230 would be a bit undersized by todays standards for a 1-2 down inside lb IMHO.
