Russell Wilson agrees: Seahawks great Doug Baldwin most underrated WR ever

Perhaps nobody embodied the Seahawks Legion of Boom era mentality than a short, undrafted wide receiver named Doug Baldwin. While he flew under the radar compared to some of his future Hall of Fame teammates, Baldwin was a critical part of Seattle’s success in those years.

In addition to a lot of clutch plays, Baldwin totaled 49 touchdown catches – peaking with a league-high 14 during the 2015 season. Baldwin also made two Pro Bowl teams but he never truly got the recognition that he deserved, much like Tyler Lockett today. Watch Good Morning Football discuss if Baldwin is the most underrated wide receiver ever.

At least one of Baldwin’s former teammates says he is. Russell Wilson shared the story with a yes.

This is a little bit funny because few former Seahawks players have thrown more shade in Wilson’s direction than Baldwin, who had to retire after the 2018 season due to multiple injuries.
