New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll's first NFL team will consist of a whopping ten captains for the upcoming season: three on offense, four on defense, and three on special teams.
All captains were voted
for by their peers.
The three captains on offense include quarterback Daniel Jones,
running back Saquon Barkley, and left tackle Andrew Thomas. Jones is a
three-time captain, Barkley a four-time captain, and Thomas is a first-timer.
On
defense, the captains include all first-timers, including safety Xavier
McKinney, defensive lineman Leonard Williams, and defensive lineman Dexter
Lawrence II.
The special teams
captains will be kicker Graham Gano, long snapper Casey Kreiter, and linebacker Cam Brown. This is
Gano's second season as a Giants captain and the first time for Kreiter and Brown.
Safety Julian Love, who received significant votes from the
defense and special teams, will be the tenth captain. This is Love's first time
as an NFL captain.
