Sanjay Lal joined the Seahawks staff on March 11, 2020 after two seasons as wide receivers coach with the Dallas Cowboys (2018-19). He also coached receivers previously with Indianapolis (2017), Buffalo (2015-16), the N.Y. Jets (2012-14) and Oakland (2007-11).

In 2019, the Cowboys had two 1,100-yard receivers in Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup for the first time since 2007. Cooper, who made the Pro Bowl, led the team with 79 receptions for 1,189 yards and eight touchdowns while Gallup became the third-youngest Cowboys receiver (23 years, 262 days) to reach the 1,000-yard plateau with 1,107 yards on 66 catches with six touchdowns. The two, along with Randall Cobb's 55 receptions for 828 yards and three scores helped Dak Prescott enjoy a career year with over 4,900 yards and 30 touchdowns, and gave the Cowboys three players with 800-plus receiving yards for the first time since 2012.

In Lal's first season in Dallas in 2018, he helped break in a new receiving corps following the departure of Dez Bryant. Cole Beasley led all receivers with 65 receptions for 672 yards and three touchdowns. Lal's receivers got a boost when the Cowboys traded for Amari Cooper from the Raiders at the trade deadline. In nine games with Dallas, Cooper was the team's No. 1 receiver as he tied for the fourth-most receiving first downs (39) and fourth-most touchdowns (six), had the eighth-most receptions (53) and ninth-most receiving yards (725) to lead the team and rank amongst the top-10 of all NFL wide receivers from Weeks 9-17. He notched his third career trip to the Pro Bowl as a replacement for Michael Thomas. Lal also oversaw the growth of rookie Michael Gallup, whose 33 receptions and 507 yards were both the seventh-highest totals by a team rookie receiver.

In his lone season with the Colts, Lal oversaw a receiving corps that was led by T.Y. Hilton, who had 57 receptions (second on team) for 966 yards (team-high) and four touchdowns while earning a trip to the Pro Bowl as an alternate. He previously spent two seasons as Buffalo's wide receivers coach (2015-16). In 2015, Sammy Watkins recorded his first 1,000-yard campaign and led the NFL in average yards at the point of the catch (14.7). After returning from injury, Watkins finished the second half of the season ranked third in the NFL in receiving yards (900) from Weeks 9-17.

Prior to arriving in Buffalo, Lal spent three seasons (2012-14) with the New York Jets and coached Eric Decker, who posted 74 catches for 962 yards and five touchdowns in 2014, logging a career-best game with 10 catches for 221 yards and a touchdown. In 2013 he guided Jeremy Kerley and David Nelson, who finished first and second on the team in receptions, respectively. Kerley also posted a career-best 56 receptions in addition to 827 yards and a 14.8 yards per catch average in 2012.

Lal began his NFL coaching career spending five seasons (2007-2011) with the Oakland Raiders as the assistant wide receivers/quality control coach (2007-08) and wide receivers coach (2009-2011). Before making the jump to the NFL, Lal coached collegiately at California (2004-06) as an offensive assistant and quarterbacks coach, at Saint Mary's College (2004) as the quarterbacks and strength, speed and conditioning coach and at Los Medanos College (2003) as the receivers coach.

Lal attended the University of Washington where he played wide receiver and became a Husky Hall of Famer. He was on Washington's 1992 National Championship team and a member of two Rose Bowl teams. Lal was invited to training camp with the Raiders in 1995 and also spent time with the St. Louis Rams in 1998. He signed with the Scottish Claymores of NFL Europe in 1999.
