NFL captain's patch question

There are 4 stars under the "C." Eric Wood's patch has one gold and three white stars. What does that mean? Is there a rank among the captains?

 

Each star gets filled in for every consecutive year a player has been captain. If it's longer than 4 years, the whole patch becomes gold, the stars as well. So I think that means he's been captain 5 straight years?

Eric Wood was captain in 2013 and again in 2014. The image displayed was from July 2014. At that time he had only been captain one year in a row. Hence, only one star is colored in gold. Had the picture been from mid-season 2014 he would have had 2 stars filled in.
