New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll revealed on Tuesday that 10 captains have been named ahead of the 2023 regular season.
“We voted for captains, so again there will be 10. It was player voted and told those guys during walkthrough just a little while ago,” Daboll told reporters.
“The way we do it is I have six slots and I have all the players vote and then if you get a certain amount of votes, then you are named captain. I think there was 22 people on the team that received votes, which to me is good for our team in terms of the way players perceive other players in leadership roles. Just because you are not a captain doesn’t mean you are not a leader on the team. There was a considerable number of guys who got, maybe it was five votes or three votes. Some guys got over 50 votes, but that was all by the players.”
All players on the roster participated in the vote and those voted on were not separated by position.
The 10 captains, as chosen by their teammates, are as follows:

“It means a lot. It something you don’t take for granted,” Waller told reporters. “I don’t come in to try to earn a ‘C’ on my jersey. I just come in to try to impact guys in a positive way because I know I’m somebody that’s been in the league longer than a lot of guys in the locker room have, so they may look at me to see, ‘How’s he been able to sustain through good times and through bad?’ I try to set an example like that, and it manifested into being a captain and I’m going to continue to try to do the same things that I’ve been doing as far as uplifting guys and just being a positive example.”

“I think, honestly, that’s one of the biggest honors that you can get as a player on a team. To be voted by your peers, voted by your teammates as a captain,” Okereke said. “Something I don’t take lightly at all. I just think we’ve got a great group of men in this locker room; we’ve got great leadership all around and I’m just happy to add to that and do whatever I can to help this team win.”

“It’s humbling, it’s a very humbling feeling,” Jackson said. “There were a lot of emotions like excited; I was blushing because it was cool to see my peers think of me in such a light to vote me to be a captain. So, it was a really humbling feeling because it was from my peers and then just being in the organization that we’re in, a prestigious one at that, it just means a lot.”
