The Packers are one of a few NFL teams that do not designate a Team Captain for each season. Instead, the head coach names deserving players to be honored with the designation for each game. The coach decides who will represent the Packers for the coin flip and be recognized as the captains. The players are picked due to their teamwork, dedication, and sportsmanship; to be examples and leaders in the locker room.
Each week before the game, the players selected as captains line up to be photographed. However, Aaron Rodgers insists on jumping into each photo, as if to say "I should be here too", regardless of whether or not the coach agrees. Here's a website that tracks the photos, you'll notice that Rodgers started forcing himself into the photos as early as 2006, when he was still Favre's backup.
So, what's the deal? What gives him the right to declare himself worthy of being in the captain's photo, despite the head coach picking other players as more deserving? Is it just classless, or arrogant too?
