Tommy Armstrong took DPE aside and told him they needed something big before his clutch return....make no mistake, Tommy is the leader of this team.

Not to nitpick, but why wasn't he voted captain then?

A few weeks ago, I read somewhere the rules about voting for captains changed this year. Something like players could only vote for one person for captain. Since that's the case, most players' first and only choice will be for someone who is a leader and is in their position group. Thus on offense, the two position groups with the greatest numbers are most likely going to be captains. That's how we get an OL and WR for captain. Probably if players voted for two players for captain, the second choice goes to someone outside of their position group; to a senior QB, perhaps.

We also have one fewer permanent captain than last year, I believe (possibly the Sam Foltz rotating captain spot?)

Anyway, not being a captain should stop zero players on the team from being a leader.
