Seahawks' Baldwin: Lynch 'is going to be devastating' with addition of Graham

The Seattle Seahawks added one of the NFL's best red-zone threats when they traded for Jimmy Graham in March, and wide receiver Doug Baldwin is excited to see what the three-time Pro Bowler will bring to the offense.

"He can be an offense completely amongst himself," Baldwin told 710 ESPN Seattle's "Justin and Gee" on Wednesday. "His ability to be a big target in the red zone, his athleticism is really strange for a guy his size. The way he moves it's unbelievable. He's gonna be able to do a lot of things for us offensively."

Among those things will be spreading out opposing defenses, which Baldwin believes will be a huge asset for running back Marshawn Lynch.

"Not only is he going to be able to open things up for myself but also for Marshawn as well, and opening more things up for Marshawn is going to be devastating to the defenses we face," Baldwin said

Graham had some run-ins with Seahawks players during his time with the New Orleans Saints, but Baldwin said there have been no issues in the locker room.

"He's a phenomenal person off the field," Baldwin said. "He's become of the guys in the locker room. He likes to talk trash just like the rest of us, so we've been having fun with him."
