Sean Joseph Morey (born February 26, 1976 in
Marshfield, Massachusetts, USA) is an American
football wide receiver currently a free agent.
Morey was originally selected with the 35th pick of
the seventh round of the 1999 NFL Draft by the New
England Patriots. He remained with the Patriots
until the end of the 2000 season, with the majority
of his time being spent on the practice squad. In
2001 Morey joined the Philadelphia Eagles where he
would become 2003 Special Teams MVP. That same year
he was nominated for Dr. Z's (Sports Illustrated)
All-Pro team as a special teams player. Also in
2003, Morey became the 12th player in NFL Europe
history to catch 3 touchdown passes in a game while
playing for the Barcelona Dragons.
The Steelers acquired Morey September 6, 2004 as an
unrestricted free agent. He was captain of special
teams for Pittsburgh. Morey's role for the Steelers
is mostly special teams; he does not usually line up
at wide receiver. In 2006, Morey's role expanded
because of injuries to wide receivers Hines Ward and
Cedrick Wilson. He finished the season with just 2
receptions (bringing his career total to 3), but
also contributed with his blocking and with his work
on special teams. He collecting a team-high 21
special teams tackles while also returning eight
kickoffs for 202 yards (25.3 yard avg.). In a Week
11 24-20 victory over the Browns, he had a 76 yard
kickoff return.
The Arizona Cardinals signed Morey March 15, 2007 to
a three-year free agent contract. Morey rejoins
ex-Steeler coaches Ken Whisenhunt (head coach), Russ
Grimm (assistant head coach / offensive line) and
Kevin Spencer (special teams) in Arizona.
