The Seahawks on Tuesday announced that four players had been voted as captains for the season by their teammates — quarterback Russell Wilson (offense), linebacker Bobby Wagner and Kam Chancellor (defense) and punter Jon Ryan (special teams).
It is the fifth straight year that Wilson has been elected as the sole offensive captain.
Only two players in Seattle history have longer streaks for being elected captain — QB Matt Hasselbeck with eight from 2003-10 and linebacker Lofa Tatupu with six from 2005-10. However, each was a co-captain at least four times during those streaks.
Only one other player has a streak as long as Wilson’s of being a sole captain — receiver Steve Largent, who was the offensive captain from 1979-83.
