The New York Jets announced their team captains for the 2020 season. Sam Darnold, George Fant, Steve McLendon, Marcus Maye and Matthias Farley (Special Teams).
No surprise with Darnold being named a captain, this team will go as far as he can take it. George Fant is a surprise since he is new and is surrounded on offense by veterans Le’Veon Bell and Frank Gore. With camp being closed and exposure to the team being so limited, it speaks to what Fant must be doing behind the scenes. It certainly is an indication that Fant is respected in the locker room.
