Did you notice the C with four stars under it on Peyton Manning’s jersey tonight? The idea came from players during a meeting of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s new Player Advisory Council. The result will be renewed emphasis by NFL clubs this year on the role of season-long NFL team captains on offense, defense and special teams through a team captain leadership initiative. Captains traditionally serve as a link between players, coaches and management to help foster cohesion within teams. The initiative has been strongly endorsed by NFL head coaches and by the six-member NFL Player Advisory Council that was recently established by Commissioner Goodell in conjunction with the NFL Players Association.
