Those captains are as follows:
Offense
QB Jimmy Garoppolo
RB Josh Jacobs
WR Davante Adams
LT Kolton Miller
Defense
DE Maxx Crosby
LB Robert Spillane
S Marcus Epps
Special teams
K Daniel Carlson
P AJ Cole
Of note among the captains is Josh Jacobs who just took the practice field for the first time this week after sitting out all of camp until he received a new one-year deal in lieu of signing the franchise tag.
Also of note is Robert Spillane and Marcus Epps who signed with the team this offseason. They were chosen over returning starters at those positions Divine Deablo and Tre’von Moehrig.
Third year starting cornerback Nate Hobbs may have also been a fine choice as a captain. But no players who were captains last season were stripped of that status this year.
