2022 Team Captains - pally - 09-05-2022

As voted on by their teammates

We have Burrow, Mixon, Hubbard, and Bell returning from last season

with S Mike Thomas, DJ Reader, and Ted Karras joining them. Quite a sign of respect for newbie Karas. These guys replace Kevin Huber, Tyler Boyd, and Jessie Bates

Lots of fans only judge leadership by screaming in game days. But team captains earn their roles on the practice field, in meetings, and in the locker room.

Rey Lewis' gameday persona was impressive, but if he had not earned the respect of his teammates the other 6 days of the week it would have just been a meaningless show.

It is hard for fans to judge the best leaders. QBs are obvious because they run the whole show, but beyond that it is difficult. I am pretty sure Mike Thomas would not have gotten a lot of votes for captain from this message board.

Love seeing Reader and Karras named captains. Reader is arguably the leader of the entire defense, and I heard nothing but praise for Karras coming out of camp.

Thomas representing ST’s is a bit of a surprise.

Good post

If I was WR Mike Thomas I would try to walk to midfield for the coin flip. Just to see if anyone would say anything.

Awesome seeing Ted and DJ as Captains. Shows you how much our guy's respect the ST's play of Thomas as well.

Did not realize how big of a head Mike Thomas has, looks more like a LBer in this pic than a WR.

It’s the Safety - Thomas.

Rock on Mixon, may we ride your coattails right to that Lombardi brother!

This will be the best OL you have had in front of you if they stay healthy. Great run blockers.

RE: 2022 Team Captains - TecmoBengals - 09-05-2022

Karras as a captain is awesome. I hope this guy provides leadership for the OL when things get tough in the trenches.

That makes way more sense

Last time we had a team captain that was an OL it was Whit in 2016.
