Offensive Lineman, Terron Armstead

While Drew Brees and Cameron Jordan are both 4+ star gold captains, Armstead is only a two-year captain with the New Orleans Saints. A title that he has deserved since being with the Saints since 2013 and starting since 2014.

One of the biggest tasks asked on the football field is for an offensive line to act as one. Armstead has done a great job in leading a group of five or six guys every play to act as one unit and protect the most valuable asset, Drew Brees.

Like Jordan, Armstead has been a force on the field and started every game he appeared in since an injury in 2016. He has been a durable wall that Drew Brees and the Saints can rely on and that is what has gotten him the representation of the “C” patch.

These captains have led the Saints for years. They deserve the recognition and respect that they have gotten. They have done the best a captain could do and started training those behind them to take their place so that the Saints’ are set for years to come.
