The Seahawks name DK Metcalf and three others as Week 4 captains

The Seattle Seahawks are using a weekly rotation system for their captains this year. Instead of naming an offensive, defensive and special teams captain for the entire season, Seattle is opting to select new players each week as circumstances change.

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

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

This is the first week for all four players to be named captains. So far, quarterback Geno Smith has been the only player who has been captain for multiple weeks. Smith was named captain in each of the first two games.

For Laken Tomlinson and Jonathan Hankins, it's a homecoming of sorts for both players. Hankins is from Dearborn, MI, and Tomlinson was a former first-round pick of the Detroit Lions in the 2015 NFL Draft.

The Seahawks and Lions kick off next Monday night at 5:15 p.m. PDT on ABC/ESPN+.
