He has established a culture centered on selflessness, accountability, and putting the team above individual recognition. The phrase \u201cWe Not Me\u201d has become synonymous with the McVay era, serving as the foundation for everything from roster construction to leadership within the locker room. Players aren\u2019t chosen as captains simply because they\u2019re the biggest stars or produce the most statistics. Instead, the honor is reserved for those who consistently embody the values the organization believes lead to sustained success\u2014leadership, consistency, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to their teammates. That mindset has helped shape one of the NFL\u2019s most respected locker rooms while guiding the Rams to multiple deep playoff runs and a Super Bowl championship. Looking back at the team\u2019s captains during the McVay era offers a glimpse into the type of players the Rams believe best represent their \u201cWe over Me\u201d identity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Which year featured your favorite captain class?
