The Falcons named five permanent team captains at the start of the 2023 season, and they nominate a sixth game-day captain each week.
Safety Jessie Bates, defensive lineman Grady Jarrett, right guard Chris Lindstrom, right tackle Kaleb McGary and kicker Younghoe Koo are the team’s five permanent captains this season.
