Los Angeles Rams Name Five Captains for 2024

The Los Angeles Rams have named five team captains for the 2024 season, retaining veterans Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, and Rob Havenstein, while promoting young defenders Kobie Turner and Quentin Lake to captaincy for the first time. Head coach Sean McVay emphasized that the selections were well-received by the team, particularly highlighting the importance of Turner and Lake in the absence of veteran leadership after Aaron Donald's retirement. Meanwhile, the New York Giants have also announced their captains, with quarterback Daniel Jones, left tackle Andrew Thomas, defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence II, inside linebacker Bobby Okereke, and long snapper Casey Kreiter taking the lead roles this season. This marks the fifth consecutive year for Jones as captain and the second for Okereke, who had a standout 2023 season. Iowa State also revealed their captains, with seniors Beau Freyler and Jaylin Noel returning for a second year alongside first-time captain J.R. Singleton, who contributed significantly last season. The Cyclones are set to open their season against North Dakota in a historic 50th season at Jack Trice Stadium.
