Random Facts

The coach is known for pranking his players. Raheem Brock, one of his players, was once arrested for not paying a $27 bill. Richard Sherman, another player, tells the prank following his colleague’s hiccup with the law. “We’re in a team meeting, and in team meetings he always gets somebody. We’re going about our meeting regularly, status quo, no one’s thinking anything. And then the police just walk in through the back door, and everyone’s like, ‘What the hell is going on?’ They were real police officers! And then Pete goes, ‘Raheem, do you have something to tell us?” Everything, of course, arranged by Pete Carroll.
