Steelers 2019 team captains announced

They are players who bring a little something extra to the table.

Whether it’s being a strong voice in the locker room, or someone to rally the troops on the field, they are ones the team knows they can depend on.

They lead by example, they lead by their play, and they lead by being a guiding force for their teammates.

That is why they were named the Steelers 2019 team captains.

Steelers’ players voted on Monday for the captains and this year’s team captains are Ben Roethlisberger and Maurkice Pouncey on offense, Cameron Heyward on defense and Roosevelt Nix on special teams.

AB will be tweeting, all angry they didn’t pick him.

 

What chance does he have of being the team captain in Oakland?? Jealousy is such a beautiful trait ...lol

 

Does this really matter at all for a professional team?

I do like seeing them recognize Nix. Despite the claims by Matakevich's fans, Nix is the Steelers' best special teams player.

 

Yes. Team Captains matter from basically HS league all the way through to the NFL. I don't see how anyone could believe otherwise.

 

If they do, then that's not a good thing because the Steelers have three captains returning from last year's fiasco.

Captains absolutely matter in high school and probably in college, but the pros? I don't think a title means much. Your team has leaders or it doesn't. Honestly, it seems like something that has been in relatively short supply of late in Pittsburgh.

 

Pretty much who we all thought.

 

That’s a really good point.

 

If there were no captains would they then send Tomlin out for the coin toss? If he lost the coin toss would he challenge it and lose it twice?

 

Now I will be thinking about this all night. Thanks!
