Changes to Steelers Captains in 26? | Steelers Morning Rush

from Steelers Afternoon Drive · host Pro Football Insiders

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the Steelers captains, which under former head coach Mike Tomlin, were appointed for a full season and did not wear the NFL's standard patches. Will those things change under Mike McCarthy, who has given out weekly captaincies in the past? That was the way the Steelers operated for most of their history, before beginning to give out permanent captaincies in 1998. So will Aaron Rodgers, Cam Heyward and T.J. Watt be the team's on-field leaders again -- and does who the captains are matter anyway? Alan breaks it down: Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
