Pete Carroll says Penny Hart is ‘right in it’ competing for a roster spot

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Penny Hart is making a push to secure a spot on the 53-man roster, and so far, coach Pete Carroll likes what he sees.

“Penny made the team last year because you can count on him,” Carroll said during his press session to wrap up Seahawks minicamp. “You can count on him in a lot of ways — in running his routes right, knowing the offense, multiple positions, contributing on special teams, his toughness. The attitude is obvious, and he came out here this camp, these days we’ve had here, and probably had the best shot of making things happen.”

Hart originally signed with Seattle in 2019 as an undrafted free agent out of Georgia State. He appeared in 13 games last season, contributing mostly on special teams.

“So where is he in the competition?” Carroll continued. “He’s right in it. He made the club last year, we really can count on him. He can do a lot of things. He was really battling, and I was really fired up for him, we all were.

“He kind of lit it up out here.”
