Eagles Linebacker Zack Baun Emerges as Defensive Star Ahead of Super Bowl LIX

After struggling with the Saints, Baun found his stride with the Eagles, earning All-Pro honors and Defensive Player of the Year consideration.

  • Zack Baun signed a modest one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Eagles during the first hours of free agency last March after four underwhelming years with the Saints.
  • The Eagles successfully transitioned Baun to inside linebacker under defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, unlocking his potential and leading to a breakout season.
  • Baun recorded 151 tackles, five forced fumbles, and earned first-team All-Pro honors while helping the Eagles achieve the NFL's top-ranked defense this season.
  • Baun is one of five finalists for the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award, alongside established stars like T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett.
  • As Baun prepares to play in Super Bowl LIX against the Chiefs, he has become one of the league's most coveted free agents heading into the offseason.
