The Miami Dolphins announced their captains for the 2025 season on Monday morning, and star wide receiver Tyreek Hill was not among them.
The Dolphins captains were: Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, center Aaron Brewer, fullback Alec Ingold, defensive tackle Zach Sieler, linebacker Jordyn Brooks and edge defender Bradley Chubb.
It’s not a surprise Hill wasn’t named a captain, as voted by Dolphins teammates, after the way he went out in the 2024 season. Hill pulled himself out of the finale against the New York Jets as it became apparent Miami was bound for elimination from playoff contention, and after the game, he had a locker room outburst, telling media he wanted out from the team.
It’s notable, however, that Hill was a captain for the Dolphins each of his first three seasons with Miami since the trade from the Kansas City Chiefs and has now been stripped of captaincy entering Year 4 with the Dolphins.
Tagovailoa is a captain for the fourth consecutive season. Sieler and Ingold are also repeat captains.
Brewer and Brooks are captains for the first time after joining the Dolphins in the 2024 offseason. Both had established budding leadership roles dating back to the middle of last season. Chubb is also a new captain after joining Miami midseason in 2022.
This story will be updated.
