Alex Singleton

Undrafted, CFL detour, Eagles core LB, then Broncos thumper — 7 NFL seasons, 389 tackles, two career resets.

Singleton's career is one of the most distinctive in the league: undrafted out of Montana State (2015), waived multiple times, spent 2 seasons in the CFL, then returned to the NFL with the Eagles in 2019 and earned a starting role.

Across 7 NFL seasons he's tallied 389 tackles, 29 TFL, 6 sacks, 17 pass defenses — almost all of it from 2020 onward.

2023 was the apex: 83 tackles, 2 sacks, 4 PDs in 17 games — his most-complete season as a Bronco.

The 2023 season in Denver produced Singleton's career-high tackle total (83 across 17 games) plus 6 TFL, 2 sacks, 4 PDs. That was the Sean Payton Year 1 Broncos defense, and Singleton was the green-dot MIKE for nearly every snap.

It's the cleanest line in his career — high volume, multi-phase production, full availability.

2024 ended after 3 games — torn ACL in Week 3 wiped out the season.

Singleton's 2024 season ended in Week 3 with a torn ACL. The roster timeline tells the full story: ACT in Weeks 1-3, then RES (reserve/injured) every week through Week 19.

That made the 2025 comeback at age 31 a real question. He answered it: 66 tackles across 18 games in 2025, full participation, no missed time. The torn ACL didn't end the career — it just paused it.

Eagles years (2019-2021): 152 tackles, 13 TFL. Broncos years (2022-2025): 237 tackles, 16 TFL.

The split is more even than the team change suggests: 4.47 tackles/game with Philly, 4.39 with Denver. The PD growth is the noticeable upgrade — 0.15 PD/game in PHI vs 0.22 PD/game in DEN.

The trajectory is unusual: most undrafted CFL returnees don't make it to 88 NFL games. Singleton just did, on two franchises, with two coordinators.

Career: 389 tackles, 29 TFL, 6 sacks, 17 PDs, 4 FFs across 88 games.

7 NFL seasons, 88 games (regular + post), career totals:

- 389 tackles (4.42/game) - 29 TFL - 6 sacks - 17 pass defenses - 4 forced fumbles

For an undrafted LB who spent 2 years in the CFL (winning the Grey Cup with Calgary in 2018) before getting an NFL chance, 389 NFL tackles is the career proof point. Singleton is one of the few CFL-to-NFL success stories of the last decade at LB.
