RENTON — Seattle Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin said in a television interview that he has received death threats for statements he has made in response to police shootings of African-Americans.

“I did,” he said, according to a transcript provided by Showtime, which will air the interview on “60 Minutes Sports” Tuesday. “I had a few. A couple of people told me to watch my back.”

Baldwin was interviewed after a statement he made last week in which he called for all 50 attorneys general to review police training policies. Baldwin was also at the forefront of the Seahawks’ recent decision to lock arms during the national anthem after saying he had been considering kneeling.

Asked how he responded to the death threats, Baldwin referenced San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, whose decision to sit during the anthem before a preseason game helped provide an impetus for Baldwin’s actions.

“The same way Colin did,” Baldwin said. “You know, there’s issues going on in our society that people feel compelled to talk about and I’m not going to be quiet about. And if something was to happen to me, I think that would just further prove my point that there are issues in our culture, in our society that need to be changed.”

Asked if he’s had the thought that he could be in harm’s way, Baldwin said: “I have. I’ve thought about it. It’s been concerning.”
