08:08 AM ET 03.29 | The 49ers, coming off a 7-9 season, know they have an uphill climb this season. In more ways than one. Among the changes Mike Singletary has made in his first year as permanent head coach is the creation of a steep hill adjacent from the team's practice field. Singletary plans to have his players work out on the hill when it's completed in a few weeks. Singletary explained that he used to train on a hill in Houston with other NFL players such as Charlie Joiner, Darrell Green, and Earl Campbell. "I was very fortunate to be part of that group," Singletary said. "It was a tough workout. All of those guys that worked out on that hill had a long career." Singletary calls the hill "Pain." What was before a small slope is now a hill with 2,500 tons of dirt. From top to bottom is 45-50 feet. Players naturally had questions when they arrived at the practice field and saw the hill in the works.
