IPS Take On Baldwin: Baldwin does a really good job of winning off the release.  He has quick feet and explodes out of his break, creating separation needed to open windows for his quarterback.

He’s not a speedster, but he is plenty fast and is capable of playing the slot or outside receiver positions in State's scheme.

Richmond spreads the ball around, so he didn't post gaudy numbers, but watch their game film.  He's consistently getting wide open.

Baldwin likely projects best into the slot where he can win with his short-area quickness.
