The Cincinnati Bengals announced their captains for the 2020 season on Wednesday, and the lineup includes a former New Orleans Saints starter: Vonn Bell. The fifth-year safety left New Orleans in free agency earlier this year and immediately made an impact at Bengals training camp, at one point receiving a request from coaches to not thump his new teammates quite so hard.
But that kind of standout play earned Bell a spot on the Bengals leadership team, where he’s joining former LSU Tigers quarterback and 2020 first-overall draft pick Joe Burrow as a team captain. Props to Bell for hitting the ground running.
