Last Chance U Star Signs with Chicago Bears


The holder of a law degree from the DePaul University College of Law, Stephen Singleteary draws upon more than a decade of experience in the food processing industry in his role as principal of Legacy Food Solutions. Beyond his professional pursuits, Stephen Singleteary is a passionate fan of the National Football League's Chicago Bears.

The Chicago Bears recently signed a well-known college quarterback, although he won't be playing under center in the NFL. On May 13, the Bears agreed to a contract with former East Mississippi Community College quarterback John Franklin III, who was one of the stars of the Netflix documentary Last Chance U. Franklin III played quarterback for the school during the 2015 season, when the Netflix series followed the team, and recorded seven touchdowns and 733 passing yards in nine regular season games. He transferred to the University of Auburn the following season and registered 430 rushing yards and 204 passing yards as the team's backup quarterback. 

He then transferred to Florida Atlantic and started playing wide receiver in his senior season, but he'll be playing defense in the NFL. The Fort Lauderdale, Florida native was signed as a defensive back and kick returner. According to his agent, he had come close to signing a contract with the Seattle Seahawks following the 2018 NFL draft, but that fell through, allowing him to sign with the Bears.
