NY Jets Team Captains

The New York Jets announced their team captains for the 2020 season.  Sam Darnold, George Fant, Steve McLendon, Marcus Maye and Matthias Farley (Special Teams).

No surprise with Darnold being named a captain, this team will go as far as he can take it. George Fant is a surprise since he is new and is surrounded on offense by veterans Le’Veon Bell and Frank Gore. With camp being closed and exposure to the team being so limited, it speaks to what Fant must be doing behind the scenes. It certainly is an indication that Fant is respected in the locker room.

Adam Gase says he has had been super impressed with how T George Fant handles his business day-in and day-out.

Cites his professionalism and the way Fant has helped rookie T Mekhi Becton.

Adam Gase on George Fant: “Guys gravitate toward him … He’s a vocal guy in that (OL) room … There’s something about George that’s impressive” #Jets

Marcus Maye being named captain is a good sign as he looks to step up after the Jamal Adams trade.

If you're looking to re-sign Maye, a good start is to make him a captain. Shows him how much we value him. If he looks good through week 4, get his agent in and let's hammer out a contract extension.

Maye sounds like a solid dude and he apparently has had a great camp. Sounds like Williams just plugged him into Jamal’s role. I think he will have a big year and open some eyes.

I hope that's the case...  been a fan of this team for 40 years and have definitely bought fools gold in the past...  I have a good feeling about this squad.  Overlooked and counted out is when this team has been, historically speaking, at it's best.

I guess.  But how does that explain the last 7-8 seasons, when the team was overlooked and also failed?
