Selecting team captains is one of the most pivotal decisions an organization has to make. Last year in his first season as New York Giants head coach, Pat Shurmur selected these six players as team captains: Eli Manning, Nate Solder, Landon Collins, Alec Ogletree, Zak DeOssie and Michael Thomas.
It was a surprise that six players were elected captains since only three players were elected captains in each of the last three seasons. An even more of a surprise was that three of the captains (Solder, Ogletree and Thomas) were in their first season with Big Blue.
