‘Oh Captain! My Captain!’ Dolphins name 2019 team captains

On paper, the Miami Dolphins are as devoid of talent as any heading into the 2019 season.

And as we reported earlier in the week, the team had planned to vote on captains by week’s end. Well, it’s later in the week.  Which means we are pleased to announce the Miami Dolphins have revealed their captains for the upcoming season.

So without further ado, here are the four captains that will steer the Dolphins’ tank in the right direction.

Linebacker, Jerome Baker

Free Safety, Bobby McCain

Defensive Back, Walt Aikens

Center, Dan Kilgore

The biggest surprise on this list is Bobby McCain, who transitioned to free safety in the spring.  For me, I would have hoped a guy like Xavien Howard would be given the nod.  But for something that was voted on by his peers, you have to be excited about the prospect of McCain at FS.  Jerome Baker making the list should surprise no one, as he’s been the Dolphins’ most consistent player throughout preseason.  Baker is expected to ascend in Flores’ defense and will wear the green dot as the defense’s ‘quarterback’.  Walt Aikens is a special teams maven, which is obviously why he made the list. And Daniel Kilgore remains the most consistent player on the offensive line.

Who do you think should be the Dolphins’ 2019 captains?
