The Seattle Seahawks may not have as deep of an elite history at wide receiver like other teams, but the franchise greats they've had have been remarkable players. Of course, the gold standard is the iconic Steve Largent. But beyond Largent, there have been a handful of receivers who will forever be associated specifically with the Seahawks.
One such player is Doug Baldwin. Originally undrafted out of Sandford in 2011, Baldwin developed from a solid depth contributor to one of the best receivers in Seattle sports history. Baldwin was a lifelong Seahawk, a two-time Pro Bowler in 2016 and 2017, and even co-led the NFL in touchdown receptions during the 2015 season. In his career, Baldwin hauled in 493 receptions for 6,563 yards and 49 touchdowns. His 49 touchdowns were second in Seahawks franchise history, until Tyler Lockett surpassed him.
Why are we writing an article about Doug Baldwin in the year of our Lord two-thousand and twenty-five? Because we feel it is always a good time to remind the 12th Man (not that they need it, mind you) about how great Baldwin was. In his prime, he was arguably the best route runner in the league. We also find it appropriate to spend time to celebrate members of the Super Bowl XLVIII championship team. During that postseason run, Baldwin caught 13-of-15 passes tossed his way for 202 yards and a touchdown... which came in the Super Bowl to go up 43-8, the final margin of victory.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy a quick highlight reel of Doug Baldwin! Never a bad time to take a trip down memory lane.
