Dallas Puts Four Players at the Front of Its Leadership Group

Dak Prescott, Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark and Brandon Aubrey are the Cowboys' four captains for 2026, according to the club's September 3 report. Players chose the group by vote. That leaves two defensive tackles alongside the quarterback and kicker. Dallas had six captains last season; the new group gives fans a clear set of names to follow as the regular season begins. A captain's designation does not settle how a team will play. It does identify whom teammates selected to help lead them. The Cowboys' report explains the vote and the change in approach.
