Former Seattle Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin standing out as tech CEO
RENTON, Wash. -- Doug Baldwin is a businessman now, but his body still thinks he's a football player.
The former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver is more than three-and-a-half years removed from his last NFL snap and nearly as far into his new career in the tech and investment fields. As is the case with many former retired players, the passage of time has done little to reset an internal clock that, as training camp approaches every summer, tells him it's go time.
"My body's been conditioned to do this for over 24 years," Baldwin, 33, told ESPN. "Your body just doesn't stop when you say stop. It's not just the physical part of it. It's the mental and emotional part of it."
