Professional career [edit]
Baldwin was signed by the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent following the end of the 2011 NFL lockout to a 3 year deal worth 1.4 million.[4]
Baldwin caught his first NFL touchdown in Week 1 of the 2011 NFL season against the San Francisco 49ers. He was 4th in rookie reception yardage in the 2011 NFL season, and led the team both in receiving yards and receptions. He also made the USA Today All-Joe Team for players who are talented and had put up good numbers, but did not receive a Pro Bowl bid. He became the first undrafted rookie free agent to lead his team in receptions and yards receiving since the AFL-NFL merger.
He changed his number from #15 to #89 for the 2012 NFL season due to the incoming Matt Flynn to the Seahawks.[5] After Week 1 of the 2012 season, Baldwin required dental surgery after diving for a pass.[6] He suffered a shoulder injury during practice prior to Week 3, and also suffered a high ankle sprain during a punt return in Week 7, both of which kept him out the following week.[7][8]
