Back in 2017, the Eagles moved away from naming weekly captains and instead picked a handful of captains for the entire season. I guess winning a Super Bowl that season made that decision a permanent one, as the team announced for the fourth straight season that they will have captains set for the full season.
The captains for the 2020 season are as follows:
Offense: QB Carson Wentz, C Jason Kelce, LT Jason Peters
Defense: DE Brandon Graham, DT Fletcher Cox, S Rodney McLeod
Special Teams: Duke Riley, Craig James
Eight total captains is a big boost from years past, as the team only had five captains each from 2017-2019.
With 2020 being Carson Wentz's 4th season as a captain, we are only one year of captaincy away from his captain's patch on his jersey turning gold.
