Each year, the players vote on the captains for the team and on Monday, head coach Kevin O’Connell announced who the Vikings captains will be for 2022.
Of the eight captains, four of them are from the offense, three on defense and one on special teams. The cast remains mostly unchanged with Eric Kendricks getting named a defensive captain for the first time, replacing Anthony Barr. The other captains are the same from last season.
