Cardinals name Jacoby Brissett as offensive captain ahead of regular season

The Arizona Cardinals have appointed quarterback Jacoby Brissett as one of two offensive captains for the upcoming season. Teammates selected Brissett alongside center Hjalte Froholdt following an offseason where the quarterback worked to integrate into the team's new offensive scheme. Defensive captains include safety Budda Baker and inside linebacker Mack Wilson Sr., with long snapper Casey Kreiter representing special teams. Despite public criticism regarding his 1-11 record as a starter last year, coaching staff and players expressed confidence in his leadership and communication skills. Head coach Mike LaFleur noted the quarterback's positive impact on team chemistry during his first seven weeks with the organization. The team now enters an 11-week stretch of games to determine their competitiveness for the remainder of the schedule.
