"Coach Hue Jackson empowered his players to select their captains for the 2018 regular season, and despite being in only his second NFL season, Garrett was one of five permanent captains chosen, along with quarterback Tyrod Taylor, linebacker Christian Kirksey, offensive lineman Joel Bitonio and punter Britton Colquitt."
