He became the first Seattle wide receiver since 2007 to top 1,000 yards receiving and finished with 78 receptions. He acquired the nickname "Angry Doug" because he felt slighted by not being drafted and later by analysts that criticized the talent of Seattle's wide receivers. He had one three-week stretch where he became the first wide receiver since Jerry Rice in 1993 with eight TDs in three games. Coming off a career season, Baldwin became the latest piece of Seattle's core to agree to a long-term deal, including quarterback Russell Wilson, cornerbacks Richard Sherman and Jeremy Lane, linebackers Bobby Wagner and K.J. An undrafted rookie out of Stanford in 2011, Baldwin has developed into a premier wide receiver.
