Detroit Lions 2026 Team Captains Revealed

The Detroit Lions have announced their captains for the upcoming 2026 season.

The Lions have revealed seven players who will hold captain status, starting with quarterback Jared Goff. Joining him on offense are wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and offensive tackle Penei Sewell. On defense, the Lions will be represented by defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, linebacker Jack Campbell and defensive tackle Alim McNeill. Punter Jack Fox will be the special teams captain.

Goff, St. Brown and Sewell are all entering their sixth season with the organization. All three were acquired in the first year of the Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell regime, Goff via trade and St. Brown and Sewell through the NFL Draft that year.

St. Brown and Sewell have been named First Team All-Pros in multiple seasons, as they have quickly ascended to the level of the best in the league throughout their respective careers. Meanwhile, Goff has been one of the league's most durable and reliable passers since he shook off a tough first year with the Lions.

Since being added to the organization, they've all been crucial parts of the big turnaround. Hutchinson joined the fold a year later as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 Draft, while Campbell was the team's 18th overall pick the following year.
