In this inspiring episode of NFL Players: Second Acts, hosts Roman Harper and Peanut Tillman sit down with Hall of Fame Chicago Bears linebacker Mike Singletary. Known for his intense presence on the field and relentless leadership, Mike opens up about the journey that shaped him—from growing up as the youngest of 10 children, to becoming the heart and soul of the 1985 Super Bowl–winning Bears defense. But this conversation goes far beyond football. Mike shares the pivotal moments that tested his faith, the values that grounded him, and how he's found deeper meaning in life after the NFL—as a coach, mentor, and advocate for character development in young athletes. With honest reflection and powerful insight, Singletary talks about what drives him today, the lessons learned through adversity, and why legacy means more than just wins and losses.
