Brandon Aubrey shoulders more responsibility as Cowboys captain

FRISCO, Texas -- When Brian Schottenheimer announced the Dallas Cowboys captains in a team meeting, most of the names were not a surprise.

Dak Prescott. CeeDee Lamb. Osa Odighizuwa. C.J. Goodwin. The surprises, at least from the outside, were safety Donovan Wilson and Brandon Aubrey, the Pro Bowl kicker.

For Aubrey, who began playing football about five years ago after a spell in professional soccer, it was a wow moment when Schottenheimer called him up to the front of the room and handed him the captain's patch that will be on his jersey.
