Analysis by Shawn Childs, from his 2026 guide — his words, unedited.

Singleton arrives in the NFL with four polished seasons at Penn State behind him. He announced himself as a freshman with 1,146 combined yards, 13 touchdowns, and 11 catches, then peaked two years later with 1,474 combined yards, 17 touchdowns, and 41 catches on 213 touches. His final college season saw a dip in production (123 carries for 549 yards and 13 touchdowns with 24 catches for 219 yards), though his touchdown rate stayed strong. For his career, he averaged an impressive 9.7 yards per catch and scored 54 touchdowns across 53 games.

His NFL profile is intriguing. At 6'0" and 220 pounds with a 4.35 forty, Singleton has the size-speed combination that teams covet in a modern backfield piece. He's a capable pass protector and a legitimate threat on passing downs, giving him a high floor regardless of his role. The one area that could unlock another level is patience, learning to trust his blockers and set up cutback lanes rather than attacking too quickly. It's a refinement issue more than a fundamental flaw, and one that coaching can address.
