Here is a bit more on each 2025 Vikings captain (players listed in alphabetical by last name):
Andrew DePaola (Special Teams)
Serving as a captain for the second consecutive full season, DePaola’s influence on the team extends well beyond his consistency as a long snapper that garnered a First-Team All-Pro selection (2022). He is the first long snapper in NFL history to make three consecutive trips to the Pro Bowl (2022-24). DePaola was first promoted to a team captain during the 2023 season after Kirk Cousins suffered a season-ending injury.
Jonathan Greenard (Defense)
It didn’t take long for Greenard to start making an impact on the Vikings defense and locker room. The edge rusher’s leadership has been recognized with a captain position for the first time in his career on the heels of him leading the Vikings with 12 sacks and 22 QB hits en route to his first Pro Bowl.
Justin Jefferson (Offense)
The phenom has blended generational talent with a relentless desire to maximize his gifts through hard work and execution. He’s also remained humble and unselfish as the star has ascended quickly into NFL and team record books. This is Jefferson’s third consecutive season as a captain.
Aaron Jones, Sr. (Offense)
Few players make the kind of impact within a locker room and into the community the way Jones did in his first season in Minnesota. He’s still admired and asked about by the people of Green Bay and will continue to be appreciated by the Vikings. Jones rushed for career highs of 255 attempts and 1,138 yards while embracing teammates and the community during his first season with the Purple.
