Eagles Linebacker Zack Baun Eyes Super Bowl Glory After Breakout Season
Baun's transformation in Philadelphia has led to All-Pro honors, Defensive Player of the Year contention, and a Super Bowl appearance.
- Zack Baun joined the Eagles in 2024 on a one-year deal after struggling to make an impact during four seasons with the New Orleans Saints.
- Philadelphia's defensive coordinator Vic Fangio shifted Baun to inside linebacker, unlocking his potential and leading to a career-best season.
- Baun's 2024 performance included 151 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and five forced fumbles, earning him All-Pro honors and a spot as a Defensive Player of the Year finalist.
- The Eagles' defense, led by Baun, improved from 30th to 1st in the league, helping secure a trip to Super Bowl 59 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
- As Baun enters free agency next month, he is projected to command a significant contract, potentially making this his only season with the Eagles.
