Lions name six captains for the 2023 season, including three first-time selections

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions named six captains on Tuesday, as voted on by the team, for the 2023 season.

The offense is led by quarterback Jared Goff, selected for the third consecutive year after being traded to Detroit ahead of the 2021 season. He's joined by two first-time captains: offensive tackle Penei Sewell and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. The third-year players have firmly established themselves as part of the franchise's foundation since being drafted by the Lions in 2021.
