Bobby Wagner is already a Rams captain

1whRpo3W3Tn7
Rams star Aaron Donald has been downplaying an intense fight during joint practice with the Bengals, and Chris Simms would like to see the veteran player take ownership for his dangerous actions.

Not many veterans can walk through the door and become a team captain. Not many veterans are Bobby Wagner.

The linebacker, in his first year with the Rams after a decade in Seattle, was voted one of the defending Super Bowl champion’s six captains for 2022.

The others are defensive tackle Aaron Donald, cornerback Jalen Ramsey, quarterback Matthew Stafford, receiver Cooper Kupp, and tackle Rob Havenstein.

Six captains may seem like a lot. Last year, the Rams had eight of them -- three on offense, three on defense, and two special-teams captains. This year, they’ve skipped the special teams.
