In addition to full-time captains Eli Manning, Jonathan Casillas and Zak DeOssie, Giants coach Ben McAdoo selects three game-day captains each week.
"We go through the roster each week and pull guys who we feel were working the way that we wanted to work, who were performing at a high level and are being good examples," McAdoo said.
With that criteria in mind, it was notable that cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was named a game-day captain for last Sunday's 31-21 loss to the 49ers. The recognition from the coaching staff for his exemplary attitude came four weeks after Rodgers-Cromartie served a one-game suspension for leaving the team facility after to a disagreement with McAdoo.
