All-Time Pete Carroll Team
Last week, I assembled an all-star team of the players who have played for Bill Belichick. This week, I thought I'd do the same for another longtime head coach: Pete Carroll.
I've gone over Carroll's head-coaching tenures with the Seattle Seahawks (2010-present), USC Trojans (2001-09), New England Patriots (1997-99) and New York Jets (1994) and compiled an offense, defense and special teams using the players Carroll has led.
Note: As with the Belichick team, the player's team and tenure under Carroll is listed next to each player's name. Also, I weighed players -- including those he coached at USC -- according to the entirety of their NFL careers.
