Donald Wayne Baldwin (born July 9, 1964) is a former American football defensive end who played for the New York Jets of the National Football League as well as the Toronto Argonauts and the Ottawa Rough Riders of the Canadian Football League. He played college football at Purdue.[1][2]

The 1987 NFL season was affected by a strike for four weeks, with Week 3 games not being played and Weeks 4–6 games being played using replacement players. However, some players chose to "cross the picket line" and play during the strike anyway. Baldwin crossed the picket line for the Week 6 game, a matchup against the Miami Dolphins which the Jets won 37–31.[3]

Baldwin played five games with the Toronto Argonauts in 1988, his most prolific season in the Canadian Football League. He made five tackles, five sacks, and one interception, as well as recovered two of the opposing team's fumbles.[2]

Baldwin only played two games with the Argonauts in 1989 before switching teams.[2][4]
Ottawa Rough Riders[edit]
At some point during the 1989 season, Baldwin joined the Ottawa Rough Riders. He played three games with the team that season.[2][4]
