Mac Jones a captain
The GOAT becomes the first QB in franchise history who has been good enough to be named team captain in only his 2nd season.
 
Judon should've been a captain given his contract status and importance to the D. Wise and Bentley are funny choices, but Bill has to appoint somebody. Man... what a terrible roster on D.

They're voted on, not appointed. But even if you think Bill puts a thumb on the scale, the captains (other than QB) have rarely just been the most talented players on the team. David Andrews isn't usually their best OL. Devin McCourty is 50/50 on whether he's their best DB, depending on the year. James White was a captain last year, but would have probably been 2nd or maybe even 3rd in total offensive snaps. It's about leadership and respect in the locker room. I think Judon is definitely well liked there, but so was Julian Edelman and he was never a captain.
 
Yeah I'm surprised that Notso was voted a captain ahead of Lawrence Guy; and JaWrong ahead of Matt Judon... Production be dammed amirite?

Captains are picked for their leadership and voted on by their peers, its not based on who puts up what on the stat sheet

You wouldn't make a Terrell Owens a team captain because he puts up sick numbers, for example

Randy wasn't a captain was he?
 
Special teams: Matthew Slater

I suspect in a year or two, it's going to be another guy whose name ends in -er. . . .

Judon & especially Guy are also known for their leadership qualities, or so I've heard...

yea im surprised Judon didnt get voted a captain, Wise was a surprise but at least that means he's working hard and earned the respect of his teammates
 
Captain, your leadership qualities are undeniably exemplary and unyielding. Thank you once again for leading us into another great Patriots season !

We should start an annual tradition to fill the gap between the last preseason game and week 1: Voting for Patsfans.com captains. Everyone picks five, and the five with the most votes get a special flair to lord over everyone for the season.
