4 fun facts about Philadelphia Eagles assistant head coach Jemal Singleton
Oh, it gets better Philadelphia Eagles fans! Check this out!
In addition to Singelton being one of the more inexperienced coaches on largely inexperienced staff, there are a few things that he can hang his hat on.
2. Make sure you salute this young man if you see him and are in passing.
Singleton played for the Air Force before going on to spend nine seasons there as an assistant. He was a prep assistant in 2000, a varsity assistant from 2003 to 2005, and a running backs coach from 2006 to 2010. When you see him around Philly buying a cheesesteak or something, make sure to give him a salute.
3. Does anyone remember the 2015 Arkansas Razorbacks?
One of Singleton’s shining moments as a coach came during the 2015 SEC season as he led the running backs while with the Arkansas Razorbacks. There, he tutored Alex Collins, who helped lead Arkansas to a 45-23 victory in the Liberty Bowl over the Kansas State Wildcats.
This marked the first time the Razorbacks won consecutive bowl games in the program’s history. For his efforts, Collins earned MVP honors as he finished the campaign with 1,577 rushing yards. That was the third-highest total in the program’s history.

4. This guy wasn’t too shabby as a player either.
Coach showed his mettle as a student-athlete as well. He holds the dubious honor of being one of only six players to have been named a team captain twice, and as PhiladelphiaEagles.com put it, he helped usher the Air Force Falcons to back-to-back ten-win seasons for the first time in school history in 1997 and 1998. Now, we see how he does in the role of teacher to Miles Sanders and company.
