Overview
- The Carolina Panthers announced on Thursday that players voted for five season-long captains: QB Bryce Young, RB Chuba Hubbard, DT Derrick Brown, LB Devin Lloyd, and long snapper JJ Jansen.
- Bryce Young and JJ Jansen were chosen for the fourth time, joining a small group of Panthers with at least four season-long captaincies.
- Derrick Brown was named a captain for the third straight year, reflecting sustained defensive leadership from the Pro Bowl tackle.
- Chuba Hubbard and newcomer Devin Lloyd earned their first season-long captaincies, with Lloyd joining the team this spring on a reported three-year, $42 million deal.
- Head coach Dave Canales will continue selecting an additional weekly captain during the season, and the club noted that only 20 players in franchise history have reached four or more season-long captaincies with the team record at seven.
