Justin Fields, Vonn Bell, Sam Hubbard, Joey Bosa, Corey Linsley, Nick Bosa, Terry McLaurin and Cameron Heyward are all among the players who have been announced as captains by their respective NFL teams this week.
Fields will be a captain for the Chicago Bears in just his second season as an NFL quarterback.

The Cincinnati Bengals’ captains include two Buckeyes – three if you include Joe Burrow, who finished his college career at LSU but was back at Ohio State this past weekend for the Buckeyes’ season opener against Notre Dame.
