The Miami Dolphins have selected their team captains for the 2024 season, and the list of eight players includes four repeat choices along with a newcomer.
Defensive tackle Calais Campbell has been selected a team captain, a high honor for somebody who joined the team just this season but one not surprising given the leadership he's always exhibited throughout his long NFL career.
The four repeat choices are QB Tua Tagovailoa, FB Alec Ingold, WR Tyreek Hill and T Terron Armstead.
New captains for 2024 along with Campbell are LB David Long Jr., DT Zach Sieler and CB Jalen Ramsey.
Chances are Ramsey would have been a captain last season, but we have to remember he began the regular season on IR because of a training camp knee injury.
This is the third team being a Dolphins captain for both Tua and Hill.
The Dolphins have seven captains last year.
Along with Tua, Ingold, Hill and Armstead, the 2023 captains were defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, cornerback Xavien Howard and safety Jevon Holland.
Of those three, only Holland remains with the Dolphins.
Wilkins, of course, left in the offseason to sign a massive free agent deal with the Las Vegas Raiders, while Howard remains without a team after being released in the offseason.
