Del Rio names Raiders' team captains for 2016-17 season

The Raiders will open up their regular season in New Orleans Sunday against the Saints with four captains - two on offense, two on defense - walking out for the coin flip.

At the Raiders Foundation Luncheon in Alameda on Tuesday afternoon, head coach Jack Del Rio announced his team's four captains.

The second-year head coach listed off quarterback Derek Carr, center Rodney Hudson, edge rusher Khalil Mack, and free safety Reggie Nelson. Each player was voted as a captain by his Raider teammates.

Nelson is in his first season with Oakland while Hudson is in second under Del Rio.
