The Bills will have just two captains this season: quarterback Josh Allen and middle linebacker Terrel Bernard.
“Our captains this year leading our football team will be Josh Allen and Terrel Bernard. Additionally, there will be a leadership group or council of 10 other players who will help guide the team,” head coach Sean McDermott said today.
Last year, the Bills had eight captains, but this year McDermott explained that the team chose to have fewer captains and a larger leadership council.
“The leadership structure will change from year to year depending on the team, and each team is different. We strongly believe that the leadership setup we have chosen this year is what this team needs,” McDermott said.
Allen has been a captain for six consecutive years, while Bernard is serving as a captain for the first time.
