Doug Baldwin, talking about how Marshawn Lynch was universally "beloved" in Seattle's locker room, told a story about a young WR who told Lynch he liked his backpack. Lynch took it off, emptied it out and gave it to him on the spot. Asked which WR it was, Baldwin said it was him.

Baldwin joined the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 2011 as Lynch was developing into one of the leaders on the roster.
