The Green Bay Packers made wide receiver Bo Melton one of the team’s captains for Sunday’s Week 6 matchup against brother Max Melton and the Arizona Cardinals.
Bo Melton is the Packers’ special teams captain. As one of three captains this week, Melton will take part in the coin flip pre-game.
Through five games, Bo Melton has two catches for 40 yards and two rushes for eight yards across 81 offensive snaps. He’s also played 37 special teams snaps, including 31 covering punts and kickoffs.
On the other sideline Sunday will be Max Melton, a rookie for the Cardinals. He will play snaps on both special teams and as a perimeter cornerback, potentially setting up on-field matchups between the two brothers.
The Melton family is supporting both brothers with a unique uniform at Lambeau Field on Sunday:

Linebacker Quay Walker is the defensive captain — he’ll be a vital part of containing Kyler Murray and James Conner. Right tackle Zach Tom is the offensive captain.
The Packers did not elect season long captains. The team announces weekly captains pre-game.
