PHILADELPHIA — To inspire his players at the beginning of OTAs, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni brought up linebacker Zack Baun’s NFL journey during a team meeting.
Baun, who made first-team All-Pro in his first season (2024) with the Eagles after spending the first four years of his career with the New Orleans Saints as a backup edge rusher and special teamer, never gave up on his NFL dreams, and when he finally got his big opportunity last season, he took advantage of it.
