MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -Brett Favre has been selected one of five captains for the Minnesota Vikings this season.
Favre has been with the team for less than a month, but apparently has already made enough of an impression to be elected a captain by his teammates.
Guard Steve Hutchinson, defensive tackle Kevin Williams, linebacker E.J. Henderson and kicker Ryan Longwell are the other permanent captains this season. The Vikings will also pick a sixth captain on a game-by-game basis.
Favre signed with the Vikings on Aug. 18 and has been working ever since to get up to speed with his teammates on the field and earn their trust in the locker room. He addressed the team on Monday, saying he felt the need to let them know personally that he ended his second retirement for the right reasons.
