Jacoby Brissett among Cardinals' team captains
Jacoby Brissett who is in his first season as a starter for the Cardinals, was named one of five captains for the team this season.
Jacoby Brissett, the Cardinals' first-year starter, has been named one of five team captains for the upcoming season. On Monday, the team revealed the results of the players' captainship vote, announced on Thursday. Alongside Brissett, Center Hjalte Froholdt and Safety Budda Baker were selected as offensive and defensive captains, respectively.
Linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. and Long Snapper Casey Kreiter rounded out the roster as the team's other captains. Coach Mike LaFleur emphasized that being a captain does not define a player's identity, but rather reflects the respect their teammates hold for them. He praised the chosen captains for their ability to maintain authenticity, hold each other accountable, and communicate effectively with the coaching staff.
LaFleur specifically commended Baker, Froholdt, and Wilson for their consistent performance in this role over the past four seasons. While acknowledging the competition for the captaincy, LaFleur assured that all players would still have a voice, both on and off the field.
