Former first-round speed receiver now in the back end of his career, most recently with the Raiders.
Phillip Dorsett entered the NFL as a first-round pick prized for his straight-line speed out of Miami. After early stops with the Colts and Patriots, he has spent recent seasons bouncing between rosters and practice squads. He rejoined Las Vegas during the 2025 cycle.
Path to the league
Dorsett played for the Miami Hurricanes, where his deep speed made him a downfield weapon. Indianapolis selected him 29th overall in the first round of the 2015 draft. He was later traded to New England, where he won Super Bowl LIII as a reserve receiver.
Career highlights
Super Bowl LIII champion with the Patriots. Across his career he has logged 151 receptions for 2,001 yards and 12 touchdowns over 94 games, per reporting on his profile. In recent seasons he has served mostly as a depth option and practice squad veteran.
Recent seasons
Dorsett signed to the Raiders' practice squad in 2025 after failing to make the 53-man roster out of training camp, per the Raiders. He had previously spent time on the Falcons' practice squad and last saw regular-season action with Denver in 2023.
