Team captains are typically selected by both fellow players and coaches, showing a vote of confidence in the chosen few as leaders and culture-setters.

That has long been the case for the New Orleans Saints, who announced their 2024 season team captains on Wednesday.

 

While the group stayed mostly the same, one new face was added– offensive weapon Taysom Hill. Hill’s versatility has long been appreciated by the organization, but this honor has taken that a step further. Taking snaps at quarterback, tight end, wide receiver and in the backfield is only a part of Hillā€™s contributions. He also does a lot of dirty work on the teamā€™s special teams units including returning and covering kicks and punts when called upon.

Hill’s recognition along with the other captains is a meaningful gesture to celebrate one of the most consequential players on the team. Here is the full list of saints Team captains.

QB Derek Carr

OL Erik McCoy

TE Taysom Hill

DE Cam Jordan

LB Demario Davis

S Tyrann Mathieu

S J.T. Gray

LS Zach Wood

 

Along with Hill, another callout from the list is long snapper Zach Wood. Wood received his first career captain nod last year. He now repeats as one of the few long snappers around carrying the honor.

Everyone outside of Hill, including Wood, is repeating for another year. All of which are stalwarts on the roster and among those that set that tone for every other player in the room. They will be charged with maintaining the culture and helping to lead the team to a hopeful end to itā€™s three-year playoff drought.
