New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry was named a team captain by coach Jerod Mayo on Friday, following the official announcement of David Andrews going on season-ending injured reserve.
Henry has been a bright spot in a Patriots offense that has struggled. He is the team’s leader in receiving yards with 148 yards, and he leads the team in both receptions and targets. He also is fourth on the team in yards per reception with 10.6 yards.
Henry has been a bright spot for quarterback Jacoby Brissett. He had his best game against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. He caught eight passes for 109 yards, averaging 13.6 yards per reception.

Henry served as a team captain in 2023 in Bill Belichick’s final year as Patriots head coach. He has a chance to make an immediate mark when the team hosts the Miami Dolphins in Foxborough on Sunday.
