Biography
For the second year in a row, Jemal Singleton played an instrumental role in helping an Eagle earn his first Pro Bowl selection. After being acquired in a draft day trade, D'Andre Swift eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his four-year career on the way to earning Pro Bowl honors. Swift's 1,049 rushing yards finished fifth in the league. In Singleton's first two years with the Eagles, Philadelphia ranked first in the league in rushing yards and touchdowns.
Prior to coming to Philadelphia, Singleton spent the 2019-20 seasons coaching the Cincinnati Bengals' running backs. In 2020, he helped the club navigate a season-ending injury to Joe Mixon, as the Bengals' running backs totaled 1,891 scrimmage yards for the year. Singleton also guided Mixon to 1,137 rushing yards during the 2019 season.
Singleton served as the Oakland Raiders' running backs coach in 2018. In that time, Jalen Richard saw an increased role and tallied a career-high 68 catches, which were the fourth-most by a running back in team history.
From 2016-17, Singleton coached the Indianapolis Colts' running backs. In 2016, Frank Gore amassed 1,025 rushing yards, becoming just the fourth running back in NFL history to surpass 1,000 yards at age 33-or-older.
