Chargers name 2015 team captains

Teammates voted Antonio Gates a captain for 2015.

Malcom Floyd, one of two Chargers rotating in the role as he serves a four-game suspension, is taking the interim job seriously.

The wide receiver is entering the 12th and what he plans to be the final year of his NFL career. This is the first time he'll serve a formal captain role, divided between him and left tackle King Dunlap. Quarterback Philip Rivers is the other offensive captain. Safety Eric Weddle and end Corey Liuget are the defensive captains, and gunner Darrell Stuckey is the special teams.

Floyd, who turns 34 Tuesday, has three children.
