In what Doug Baldwin termed as a “letter to my younger self,” the now-former Seahawks receiver took to Twitter on Sunday night to unveil a 20-tweet thread that served as both a retrospective on his football career and an apparent official retirement notice.
Baldwin ended the thread with a scene from one of his favorite shows, Game of Thrones, with the caption, “My watch has ended.” The latest episode of GOT had just aired.
That tweet was reminiscent of another iconic Seahawk and also one of Baldwin’s close friends, Marshawn Lynch, who announced the end of his Seahawks career during Super Bowl 50 with a tweet featuring a pair of cleats hanging over a power line.
