Jerrell Freeman chose to wear No. 50 for a reason. He believes that he can live up to the expectations that come with wearing the number of a Hall of Famer, Super Bowl Champion, and 10-time Pro Bowler. He believes that he can wear it with the same dedication, pride, intensity, and intelligence as Chicago Bears legend Mike Singletary was for 12 spectacular years. You better believe it, too. Freeman is not, and will never be Mike Singletary, but if there’s one Bears linebacker that deserves to wear No. 50, it’s Jerrell Freeman.
Just like people told Mike Singletary that he’s not tall enough, and that he’s not fast enough to play the linebacker position, people have been doubting Jerrell Freeman his whole career.
