Nate Carroll enters his first season with the Carolina Panthers in 2024 as the pass game coordinator. Carroll spent the last 14 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks in various roles, including senior offensive assistant (2022-23), wide receivers coach (2018-21), assistant wide receivers coach (2014-17), offensive assistant (2013) and defensive assistant (2011-12).
During his 14 seasons with the Seahawks (2010-2023), Carroll was part of a staff that helped the organization to nine playoff appearances, two conference championships and a Super Bowl XLVIII title.
As the wide receivers coach in 2021, Carroll coached Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf who led the team in receiving. That season, Lockett joined Steve Largent as the second player in franchise history with three-consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons. Metcalf finished fourth in the NFL with 12 receiving touchdowns, third most in team history.
In 2020, Lockett and Metcalf etched their names in the club's record books after becoming the second pair of 1,000-yard receivers in Seahawks history (Brian Blades and Joey Galloway in 1995). Lockett set a team record with 100 catches and 1,054 yards, the sixth player in club history to register back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. Metcalf was voted to the Pro Bowl and named to the Associated Press All-Pro Team (second team), after setting a club record for most receiving yards in a season with 1,303.
Seattle's wide receivers in 2019 were led by Lockett and rookie Metcalf. Lockett set a career-high with 1,057 yards and became the eighth player in franchise history to record a 1,000-yard season and first since Doug Baldwin in 2016. Metcalf moved directly in to the starting lineup and recorded the second-most receptions (58) by a rookie in franchise history and his receptions and 900 yards ranked second and third, respectively, in the NFL among rookie wide receivers.
In 2017, Baldwin led the team for the fourth-consecutive season in catches and yards, with 75 receptions for 991 yards while adding eight touchdowns. He was also named to the Pro Bowl for the second year in a row. Baldwin earned his first Pro Bowl appearance in 2016 after tying the franchise record with a career-high 94 receptions along with a career-high 1,128 yards, becoming the fifth player in franchise history to record back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.
In 2015, Seattle's receivers helped Wilson lead the NFL with a 110.1 passer rating. Baldwin became Seattle's first 1,000-yard receiver since Bobby Engram in 2007 and led the NFL with 14 touchdown receptions, also a franchise-record.
Carroll moved in to a new role in 2013 as an offensive assistant, working alongside wide receivers coach Kippy Brown during Seattle's Super Bowl-XLVIII winning season. Brown's group helped Wilson become the first quarterback in NFL history with a 100-plus passer rating in each of his first two seasons (2012-13).
In his first two seasons on the Seahawks coaching staff as a defensive assistant, Carroll's primary responsibilities included video study of opponents, self-scouting, playbook production and assisting several coaches and defensive coordinator Gus Bradley.
A graduate of USC, he earned his degree in psychology in 2010. Born on March 24, 1987, in Edina, Minn., Nate is the youngest son of former NFL head coach Pete Carroll. Married to Anna, the couple has two sons.
