Introduction to the Miami Dolphins’ 2025 Team Captains
The Miami Dolphins are gearing up for their season opener on Sunday and have selected their locker room leaders. The team announced its captains for the upcoming season on Monday, and there was a notable exception: Tyreek Hill.
The Chosen Captains
Tua Tagovailoa, Aaron Brewer, Alec Ingold, Jordyn Brooks, Zach Sieler, and Bradley Chubb will proudly wear a "C" on their jersey, following a player vote. These players have demonstrated the leadership and dedication required to lead the team.
Tyreek Hill’s Absence from the Captains List
Hill, the team’s 31-year-old star receiver, had been a captain for the past three seasons but didn’t make the cut this year. This decision comes after a season-ending loss to the New York Jets last year, where Hill voiced his frustration with the organization, declaring "I’m out." Hill, who played last season with a wrist injury, had vowed to be more of a leader this season, but he’ll have to do so without a "C" on his jersey.
Reaction from Head Coach Mike McDaniel
Head Coach Mike McDaniel spoke with the media on Monday about the team’s captains vote. "The team I think knew the assignment a little bit more and were focused on giving the keys of captainship to those that had earned it each and every day," McDaniel said. "I think that’s what it speaks to me the most, is a football team that knows who they want to be led by."
The Road Ahead for the Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins will be in Indianapolis on Sunday to take on the Colts. As they prepare for their season opener, the team is looking to make a strong start with their newly appointed captains leading the way.
Conclusion
The Miami Dolphins have made their selections for team captains, and while Tyreek Hill is not among them, the team is looking forward to the upcoming season with their newly appointed leaders. The decision reflects the team’s focus on recognizing players who have consistently demonstrated leadership and dedication.
