The wife of Super Bowl champion wide receiver Phillip Dorsett got a crash course in how grueling it can be to be a professional athlete.
Dorsett was a first-round pick of the Indianapolis Colts in 2015, but he didn’t play with them for long. The wide receiver’s career took him to eight teams, including two separate stints with the Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders, of which he is now a member of the practice squad.

Moriah Dorsett, his wife, spoke to People about moving through the NFL with her husband. He said that while the moves were difficult, he was able to experience cities he would never have dreamed of living in.
“Right now I like to think of myself as a professional moving company,” he told the outlet. “When we first moved from Indy to New England, the team took care of everything for us. And then after that, every other move, it was all me trying to fix everything.”
Moriah Dorsett said she gets a lot of help from her parents when she moves. But now he waits a little before deciding to move.

“Once he gets into a team, I wait and see how the season goes, how he feels and then we usually make the move and go down a little bit later,” he added. “Because the last time we were here in Las Vegas, we moved in, got settled in, and then literally five days before the season started, he got traded to the Denver Broncos.”
Phillip Dorsett is still looking to make the main roster with the Raiders. He has not seen a regular season game since the 2023 season.
He has 151 receptions for 2,001 yards and 12 touchdowns in 94 career games. He won a Super Bowl title with the New England Patriots in 2018.

He has played for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Seattle Seahawks, Houston Texans and Denver Broncos. He also spent time with the Atlanta Falcons.
