TEAM CAPTAINS<br />
In 2007, the NFL launched a formalized initiative for teams to<br />
select season-long captains, up to six per team, with each player<br />
wearing the letter “C” on the upper right chest of their home and<br />
away jersey. The Lions have selected numerous captains over<br />
the years, both on a season and game basis. Below are captains<br />
