“I can’t think of five better people to look up to in terms of just guys that are going to keep it real with each other, hold people to standards, communicate with me, making sure I don’t need to know everything that’s going on in the locker room,” head coach Mike LaFleur said Monday. “I just need to know the stuff that’s pertinent. But just because it’s just those five, doesn’t mean that there aren’t other guys.
“There were quite a few guys that I won’t mention that were right up there in the running for it and those guys are still going to have a voice, too.”
This marks the seventh straight captaincy for Baker.
It’s No. 2 for both Froholdt and Wilson.
As for Brissett and Kreiter, this is their first time donning the “C” patch for the franchise.

Jacoby Brissett is ranked 31st out of 32 QBs in the NFL. He won 1 game last year and his overall record is 39-62. What am I missing?
What a dagger to the heart for Paris Johnson Jr. He has made no secret of the fact that he wants tp be a team captain in the worst way. He has stated this numerous times the last 3 years.
1. The players did not vote him in.
2. the new head coach said “I can’t think of five better people to look up to”
OUCH…… do your job at an elite level PJJ because the players and coaches have spoken.
Biggest blow of all…. There were 2 offensive linemen selected out of the 5……..that’s 40% of the captains and one of them is a long snapper that is in his first year with Arizona.
BRUTAL reality check for Paris Johnson Jr.
