"I do think it's like a badge of honor," Mayo told the media last week. "It's a badge of honor, and I think when guys do the right thing, they should be recognized for those things."
The Patriots announced six captains for their 2024 NFL season: quarterback Jacoby Brissett, center David Andrews, defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr., linebacker Ja'Whaun Bentley, safety Jabrill Peppers and long snapper Joe Cardona have received the honor.
Mayo already made that announcement shortly after getting announced as the team's new head coach, but Week 1 will be the first opportunity to actually watch players don the Cs on their jerseys.
The Patriots giving Peppers three stars indicates that they also honor players' previous captaincies with other clubs. While the veteran safety is a first-time captain in New England, he was voted to the same position twice during his time with the New York Giants.
