Congratulations are in order for the five Detroit Lions players selected by their teammates as team captains for the 2021 NFL season.
The Lions selected two newcomers to the team as captains, with QB Jared Goff and LB Alex Anzalone earning the honor and respect from their peers.
Goff will serve as one of the two offensive captains, along with Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow. On defense, Anzalone joins DE Trey Flowers with the captaincy. Jalen Reeves-Maybin takes over the special teams captain role after the team parted with longtime long snapper Don Muhlbach.
