In yet another illustration of the fresh start this season seems to provide, the Giants elected six captains for 2020 and only one of them has served in that role in the past.
That would be Saquon Barkley, who was an offensive captain last year. He and quarterback Daniel Jones will represent the offense.
The defensive captains are linebacker Blake Martinez and defensive lineman Dalvin Tomlinson. Martinez is in his first season with the Giants. Tomlinson is the first defensive lineman to be named Giants captain since Justin Tuck.
Jabrill Peppers and Nate Ebner were named special teams captains.
