Patriots name six team captains for the 2023 season

The New England Patriots named six team captains for the 2023 regular season ahead of Sunday’s opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.

All of the captains from the 2022 season remained intact, except for former safety Devin McCourty, who retired from football in the offseason. That paved the way for tight end Hunter Henry to step in as the newest team captain.

Henry is one of the team’s most dependable offensive playmakers, and he has also turned into a more vocal leader in the locker room. So the title certainly fits the seven-year NFL veteran.

The Patriots will need great leadership when navigating through the most difficult NFL schedule this season. Here are the official team captains of the 2023 season.
