Every good ship needs a captain. The team that literally has a pirate ship in its stadium named five on Monday for 2022.<\/p>\n

They are receiver Mike Evans, quarterback Tom Brady, linebacker Lavonte David, linebacker Devin White, and defensive tackle Vita Vea. Coach Todd Bowles said a special-teams captain will be named \u201cat a later date.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe players vote on it, so that’s a plus and that’s a feather in those guys’ cap,\u201d Bowles told reporters. \u201cTo have the respect of the players is more important than anything else. When your peers vote on you being a captain, it means a lot for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Vea, it was the first time he had secured that specific honor.<\/p>\n

\u201cVita got a lot of votes,\u201d Bowles said. \u201cHe prepared very well, he had a good offseason, he came back in shape, he shed some weight. He’s been leading the film-room charges and he’s become a leader on this team. I think that speaks a lot about him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The captains last year included Evans, Brady, David, and White. the team named punter Bradley Minion and linebacker Kevin Minter as the special-teams captains; neither are currently on the roster.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
