After breakthrough season, Seahawks’ Doug Baldwin credits Steve Largent for advice

Two years ago Baldwin began text-messaging Largent, with whom he finds himself increasingly linked in the Seahawks’ record books.

RENTON — Before he leaves his home or takes the field for a Seahawks practice or game, one of the last things receiver Doug Baldwin often sees is a poster he had made up a few years ago with two simple commands.

At the top are the words “Tip Of The Ball.’’ On the bottom are the words “Stay Focused.”

No one thing leads to the kind of season Baldwin had this year, of course, a season that ranks as among the best in franchise history.
