2 To our friends in the NFL media, As you begin to turn your attention to the 2023 Free Agency period, we want to share with you some information on our client, Alex Singleton (ILB, Broncos). Alex has been the underdog his entire career…the reluctant starter in Philly and Denver who responded for three straight years with elite-level performance, leading two different teams in tackles for three straight seasons while playing less than 68% of the snaps. Oh, and while being a core special teamer ranking in the top 2 in tackles there, too! We ask that you at least take a few minutes to check this out and get to know what Alex really brings to the field. And, if you agree with us that he should be among the top UFA ILB’s to be available to teams (barring an extension with the Broncos), then we’d appreciate you helping to share that thought to your followers! Thanks for your time, and of course, give us a call at any time to chat further! Best wishes Paul Sheehy Warren Schmidt Jon Baker

Ø Not only has he led his team in Tackles for 3 straight years (Broncos 2022, Eagles 2020 & 2021), since he started playing mostly full time in 2020, he has racked up the 3rd most tackles in the NFL overall 6
2022 DENVER BRONCOS 7
In 2022, Alex was a huge part of a very good Broncos defense, which held opponents to the 5th lowest rushing yards per attempt; ranked #4 in lowest passing yards per attempt; and had the 3rd fewest passing TD allowed; among other superlatives. In fact, what he accomplished was nothing short of remarkable, yet perfectly consistent with his play over the past 2 seasons. As impressive as they are, don’t focus solely on the raw number of tackles each year he’s led his team; instead, put those in the context of his playtime and number of defensive snaps, a true measure of what he brings to the table: Tackles/Snaps = TACKLE PRODUCTIVITY 8
New uniform, same production. In 2022, Alex was THE most productive linebacker in the NFL. That’s not opinion…the facts speak loud and clear: • Led the Broncos in Tackles in his first season in Denver (163 with 100 solo) • Had his third-straight 100 Tackle seasons • One of just 6 players in the NFL to finish in the top 25 in Tackles in each of the past 3 seasons, despite having the lowest playtime percentage among them, by far • Over the past 2 seasons, Alex ranks #1 in Tackle Productivity in the NFL (Total Snaps/Tackles=TP) Each of these will be addressed in detail on the following pages 9

In fact, other than one game due to Covid exposure, Singleton has never missed any time in the NFL because of injury. 19 3 20 0 21 TACKLE/19 SOLO GAME. Singleton broke the Broncos franchise record for most total (21) and solo (19) tackles in a game.

Singleton was one of only three Broncos to receive Pro Bowl votes, alongside Patrick Surtain II and Justin Simmons. 20 TACKLE GAME. While the Broncos continued to hit new lows throughout the season, Singleton remained steady. Look no further than on Christmas Day; while Denver got pummeled by the Los Angeles Rams 51-14, he never let up, registering 20 tackles. / 14
