Chargers will have 10 captains in 2026
With 11 captains on the Rams, the Chargers had a chance to one-up them.
The Los Angeles Chargers are set to have 10 captains in 2026, falling short of their fierce rivals, the Los Angeles Rams, who boast 11. The Chargers have selected their team captains based on their order on the graphic posted by the team. Headed by linebacker Daiyan Henley, the list includes linebackers Tuli Tuipulotu, Khalil Mack, and Joe Alt, along with quarterback Justin Herbert, cornerback Elijah Molden, receiver Ladd McConkey, safety Derwin James Jr., tackle Joe Alt, tackle Rashawn Slater, and long snapper Josh Harris.
Unlike the Rams, who chose a captain from each position group, the Chargers have a higher concentration of linebackers and tackles among their captains. They have five defensive players, four offensive players, and one special teams captain. The Chargers' selection process has been criticized for potentially diluting the significance of the honor, but ultimately, each team is free to make its own decision on how to distribute the captainship.
