Did Pete Carroll ever play quarterback before becoming a football coach? That’s the first question you’re going to ask after watching this video of him shredding the Seattle Seahawks secondary at a recent practice.
So, I’ll go ahead and answer it for you now. Yes, he did, actually! Carroll was a three-sport star in high school, playing three positions in football, including QB.
Still, that doesn’t make this video of the now 71-year-old dusting those skills off any less impressive. He’s scrambling, making side-arm throws, getting the ball down the field with accuracy — watch out Geno Smith, coach is coming for your job!

Bucs need to get on the phone. Can't send Mayfield or Trask out there when this legend might be available. https://t.co/gFkdecxOO3

The plan? Utah lets Cam Rising continue to heal and starts 70 year old Pete Carroll at QB against Florida. https://t.co/AA5JycrDm6
