Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been a team captain each season since Mike McDaniel became coach of the Miami Dolphins.
The Miami Dolphins introduced their 2024 team captains on Monday, including quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, cornerback Jalen Ramsey, wide receiver Tyreek Hill, linebacker David Long Jr., fullback Alec Ingold, left tackle Terron Armstead, and defensive tackles Zach Sieler and Calais Campbell.

Tagovailoa, who signed a 4-year contract extension last month, wasn’t named a team captain during Brian Flores’ tenure as head coach but is now entering his third straight season with the ‘C’ on his jersey. He joins Hill and Armstead as three-time team captains in the Mike McDaniel era. Ingold has been a team captain for the last two seasons.
Safety Jevon Holland, cornerback Xavien Howard, and defensive tackle Christian Wilkins were team captains in 2022 and 2023. However, under first-year defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, Sieler and future Hall of Famers Ramsey and Campbell have been chosen as defensive captains.
Let us know what you think: What can we expect from Calais Campbell entering his 17th season? Should we be concerned that Jevon Holland isn’t a captain as he enters a contract year? And are there any other top players you believe were left off the list?
