One of Joe Burrow’s new bodyguards is now a 2022 team captain for the Cincinnati Bengals.
That honor belongs to center Ted Karras, who joins Burrow and a list of others as team captains officially announced on Monday before Week 1:
- Joe Burrow
- Joe Mixon
- Ted Karras
- Sam Hubbard
- Vonn Bell
- DJ Reader
- Michael Thomas
Karras joins Reader and safety Michael Thomas (special teams) as first-time captains for the Bengals.
Captains were voted by the players and Burrow’s comments about Karras earlier this summer, via the Cincinnati Enquirer’s Charlie Goldsmith, say it all: “Ted’s awesome to have in the locker room, on the field. He’s a great communicator, knows his stuff and never have to worry about him missing an assignment. He’s been unbelievable.”
