Get ready, football fans! The new NFL season is right around the corner, and Week 1 is kicking off down in Brazil.
Before we dive into 2024, the Eagles have announced their team captains for the upcoming season. These leaders will guide the team on and off the field, setting the tone for a successful year.
Here’s a look at the Eagles’ team captains for 2024:
- Offense: QB Jalen Hurts, WR A.J. Brown, RT Lane Johnson, LT Jordan Mailata
- Defense: DE Brandon Graham, CB Darius Slay
- Special Teams: K Jake Elliott
This season, the Eagles will have seven captains, with six of them carrying over from last year. One notable addition is Jordan Mailata, who is stepping into a leadership role on the offensive line following Jason Kelce’s retirement.
While Fletcher Cox retired from his captaincy on defense, the Eagles decided to maintain continuity by sticking with Slay and Graham as defensive captains.
Although star receiver DeVonta Smith did not retain his captaincy, his focus remains on delivering stellar performances on the field.
Next Friday, the Eagles will kick off their season against the Packers in São Paolo. They’ve revealed their uniform choice for the game: white jerseys paired with black pants and helmets.
