Who are the Captains for The Patriots?

All other team captains in the NFL wear a patch with a "C" on their jerseys. I have two questions, why don't the Patriots captains wear that patch? Also, what do the little stars under the "C" patch signify? I'm not even sure who the captains are anymore - could you fill me in. Thanks and keep up the great work! Jeff McCarroll We've asked Belichick about this in the past and haven't really gotten a semblance of an answer. Basically he's said they don't wear the patch because they don't want to. He went on to say that football survived for decades without the captains wearing patches and got along just fine. It's obviously not a requirement but most teams adhere to it. The stars under the "C" represent the number of years that particular player has been a captain. I'm not sure but I believe the most stars a player wears is four. The Patriots haven't selected their captains for this year as of yet but I'd expect Tom Brady, Vince Wilfork and Jerod Mayo to be three of them. Paul Perillo
