Unlike other teams, which allow players to vote for their captains, coach Rex Ryan has selected the leaders of the Jets. In addition to quarterback Mark Sanchez, Ryan listed receiver Santonio Holmes, defensive tackle Sione Pouha, cornerback Darrelle Revis and safety Eric Smith as the team's other leaders. "This is something that I chose and I chose these guys based on what I see on the practice field, the game field, the classroom, their leadership, what they mean to their units, the pride and everything else," Ryan said. "How come not [linebacker] David Harris? How come not [safety] Jim Leonhard? This is just what I chose. I just feel this is right and this is what I've noticed. You look at the offensive line, Brandon Moore, Mangold, D'Brickashaw [Ferguson] all these guys [could be captains], but I just feel good about these captains."
