Jacoby Brissett Named Captain for Cardinals

Jacoby Brissett has been selected as one of the five captains for the Arizona Cardinals in his inaugural season as a starting quarterback.

The announcement was made on Monday, following a captainship vote conducted by the players on Thursday. Alongside Brissett, center Hjalte Froholdt was named the other offensive captain, while safety Budda Baker and linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. were chosen as defensive captains. Long snapper Casey Kreiter will represent the special teams.

This marks the fifth consecutive season that Budda Baker has been appointed as a captain, and both Froholdt and Wilson are returning captains after their first selections last year. Coach Mike LaFleur emphasized the importance of leadership within the team, noting that being voted captain reflects the respect of teammates.
