Seahawks name DK Metcalf and 3 others as Week 4 captains

The Seattle Seahawks are employing a weekly rotational system for their captains this year. Instead of naming an offense, defense and special teams captain for the entire season, Seattle is opting to highlight new players each week given changing circumstances.

For Week 4 against the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football, the Seahawks have announced their four captains:

  • DK Metcalf
  • Coby Bryant
  • Laken Tomlinson
  • Jonathan Hankins

For all four players, this will mark the first week where they have been named captains. So far, the only player who has been a captain in multiple weeks has been quarterback Geno Smith. Smith was named a captain in each of the first two games.

For Laken Tomlinson and Jonathan Hankins, it is a bit of a homecoming for both players. Hankins is a native of Dearborn, MI, and Tomlinson was a former first round pick by the Detroit Lions in the 2015 NFL Draft.

The Seahawks and Lions will kick off at 5:15 pm PDT on ABC/ESPN+ this coming Monday night.
