There are three offensive captains:

• QB Jared Goff
• RT Penei Sewell
• WR Amon-Ra St. Brown

On defense, LB Alex Anzalone and EDGE Charles Harris were bestowed the honor of the captaincy. LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin earned the nod for the special teams units.

“We’re fortunate to have a lot of guys that are really, I would call, leaders on this team, so we’re in a good spot, but congratulations to those guys,” Campbell said.
