Zaire Franklin Named Packers Captain Alongside Four Returning Leaders

Zaire Franklin, a newly acquired linebacker for the Green Bay Packers, has been appointed as one of the team's captains following his trade to Green Bay in March.

Franklin, who previously served as a captain for the Indianapolis Colts for six seasons, joins four other captains from last year: quarterback Jordan Love, tight end Tucker Kraft, safety Xavier McKinney, and special teamer Isaiah McDuffie.

Notably, three players who held captain roles last season—Rashan Gary and Quay Walker, both no longer with the team, and Josh Jacobs, who is on the commissioner’s exempt list due to an ongoing investigation—will not serve as captains this year.
