The Seattle Seahawks added a speed demon to quarterback Russell Wilson’s arsenal of weapons this offseason when they signed wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II to the roster in March.

Dorsett ran track in both high school and college so it’s no surprise he is fast on the field.

“He’s the fastest guy we’ve ever had here,” Carroll told reporters during his Thursday press conference. “He runs in the time realms we don’t even think really exist, 4.2s and stuff. In our systems with Russ, the way Russ likes to bomb the football, he’s a big factor for us. We’re just installing stuff in the next couple of days that really accentuate those kinds of plays, and I’m really anxious to see him fit in.”

Dorsett was originally drafted by the Colts in 2015 at No. 29 overall. After two seasons in Indianapolis, he was traded to New England. This spring, he signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks.

Dorsett will look to secure the No. 3 spot heading into the 2020 regular season.
