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.
