Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn recently revealed that instead of naming captains for the 2024 season, he would do them weekly ahead of each game.
On Friday, the Commanders revealed their Week 1 captains for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
- Wide receiver Terry McLaurin
- Defensive end Clelin Ferrell
- Safety Jeremy Reaves
McLaurin and Reaves have been captains with Washington before and, along with Jonathan Allen, are among the most respected holdovers in the locker room. Ferrell is in his first year with the Commanders after spending the 2023 season with the San Francisco 49ers.
For those wondering about Allen and future Hall of Famer Bobby Wagner, they will also have their turns at being captains, too.
