The St. Louis Rams' official Twitter has announced that Steven Jackson and O.J. Atogwe were named team captains for this year's squad. I can't argue with the choices, but it seems almost like the Rams have spent the entire offseason testing their new leaders. Atogwe completed intense contract negotiations in June and Jackson remained in St. Louis despite back problems and the way he spent the last two years marooned on an awful team.
↵Congratulations! You guys passed the test. Now you can be team captains.
