Baldwin went from undrafted in 2011 to one of the best receivers in franchise history by being a player who was, as Pete Carroll once put it, “tormented to be great.” A fierce competitor, Baldwin not only made the team as an undrafted rookie in 2011, he went on to lead the team in receiving yards, receptions and receiving touchdowns that year. A two-time Pro-Bowler, Baldwin finished his career with 493 catches for 6,563 yards and 49 touchdowns, ranking in the top four in franchise history in all three categories.  

Baldwin’s impact off the field may ultimately be his biggest legacy, however. The team’s nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award in 2013, Baldwin was recognized by King County with the Martin Luther King Jr. Medal of Distinguished Service, was a finalist for ESPN’s Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award, helped advocate for police reform in Olympia, and helped launch the Seahawks Players Equality and Justice for All Action Fund all while he was still playing, and since retiring he has opened the Family First Community Center in Renton and co-founded Champions of Change.
