Long before the Seahawks drafted him, and long before he was given the chance to succeed the most accomplished slot receiver in Seattle history, John Ursua received some important advice from his oldest brother: Watch Doug Baldwin.
“I always told him that one guy to keep an eye on was Doug Baldwin,” Jared Ursua said. “There are reasonable comparisons there. And Doug was blocking punts way before he was catching footballs, and that’s what I hope John recognizes. … Doug didn’t step on the stage as 100-catch guy.”
John Ursua steps into the mix with the Seahawks’ new-look wide receiver corps after Baldwin’s apparent retirement earlier this month.
