The wife of Super Bowl champion wide receiver Phillip Dorsett got a crash course in how taxing 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 too long. The wide receiver’s career has taken him to eight teams, including two separate stints with the Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders, where he is now a member of the practice squad.

Moriah Dorsett, his wife, spoke to People about moving around the NFL with her husband. She said that although the moves were difficult, she was able to experience cities she never dreamed of living in.
“I like to think of myself as a professional mover at this point,” she told the outlet. “The first time we moved from Indy to New England, the team had that taken care of for us. And then after that, every other move, it was just me trying to put it all together.”
Moriah Dorsett said she received a lot of help from her parents during the move. But now, she waits a little before deciding to move.

“Once he joins a team, I wait to see how the season is going to go, how he feels, and then usually we take the step and come back down a little later,” she added. “Because the last time we were here in Vegas, we moved, we got settled, 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 hasn’t 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 played for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Seattle Seahawks, Houston Texans and Denver Broncos. He also spent time with the Atlanta Falcons.
