Pro football Hall of Famer Mike Singletary is with the Rams for training camp, observing and offering players and coaches insights.

Coach Jeff Fisher and the 10-time Pro Bowl middle linebacker were Chicago Bears teammates from 1981 to 1985.

“There’s a lot of wisdom there,” said Alec Ogletree, who is playing middle linebacker for the first time. “A lot of history. … He played on one of the best defenses to ever play this game, so what better person to have in your room than him?”

Singletary addressed the linebackers as a group this week.

“It was kind of breathtaking,” linebacker Cameron Lynch said. “I got my notepad out like, ‘Oh snap, he’s about to drop some knowledge.’

“He talked about the stance and being ready to strike. He gave us some old-school flavor and that was nice.”
