The wife of Super Bowl champion wide receiver Phillip Dorsett received a crash course in how stressful being a professional athlete can be.
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 a member of the practice squad now.

Moriah Dorsett, his wife, opened up to People about moving around the NFL with her husband. She said that while the moves were tough, she was able to experience cities she would never have dreamed of living in.
“I like to consider myself a professional mover at this point now,” she told the outlet. “The first time when we moved from Indy to New England, the team had handled it for us. And then after that, all the other moves, it was all me trying to get everything together.”
Moriah Dorsett said she gets a lot of help from her parents when they move. But now she is waiting a bit before deciding to move.

“When he comes on a team, I wait and see how the season is going to go, how he’s feeling, and then we usually take a step and come down a little bit later,” she added. “Because the last time we were here in Vegas, we moved, we got to live, and then literally five days before the season started, he was 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 catches 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 has also spent time with the Atlanta Falcons.
