On Saturday morning, Matt Patricia told the media that the team would no longer be rotating captains each week but instead, they would roll with one group of captains for the entire season. Those captains have been revealed and Matthew Stafford, Don Muhlbach, Marvin Jones Jr., T.J. Lang, Jarrad Davis, Devon Kennard, and Glover Quin have received the honor of leading the Lions into battle each week. #Lions announce 7⃣ captains for the 2018 season.

Sure, you can say that it’s “just the preseason” and that it doesn’t matter. But, I believe that I can safely speak for most Lions fans when I say that we didn’t see a whole heckuva lot to be excited about from the Lions in their four scrimmages. There are some things, of course, that are naturally exciting. The return of the high-flying offense, headlined by Matthew Stafford.
