Holliday Named Dolphins Team Captain

Quarterback Chad Pennington and defensive linemen Jason Ferguson and Vonnie Holliday were selected as team captains in a vote by Miami Dolphins players this week.

“I wasn’t quite sure where they would go one way or the other,” Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said. “I thought offensively, it was pretty obvious to me where they might go. But defensively, I wasn’t quite sure. It’s good to see a couple of the veteran players be able to be recognized that way by their teammates.”

The Dolphins did not name a special teams captain.

“I think what I’m going to do is I’m going to have a special teams captain each week,” Sparano said. “I’m going to vote on that myself.”
