One of those fans was yours truly. You see, I am very picky about the individual athletes I embrace. In fact, I have but one athlete’s jersey in my closet: a blue, Seattle Seahawks Doug Baldwin, number 89. While people embraced Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch, or Richard Sherman, I always held Doug in the highest of esteem.
On the field, Baldwin was an incredible receiver. He was quick, fast, smart, agile, could accelerate, had great hands, and put defensive backs onto a merry go round on a week in and week out basis.
