Zack Baun's first season with the Eagles was one to remember.
From his interception in the Super Bowl to earning first-team All-Pro honors and being an AP Defensive Player of the Year finalist, Baun proved he's one of the league's best players.
Now, for the first time in his career, he's a member of the NFL's Top 100, coming in at No. 26 for 2025. Baun joins A.J. Brown (No. 29), Jalen Carter (No. 43), Quinyon Mitchell (No. 49), Cooper DeJean (No. 60), and Jordan Mailata (No. 69) as the Eagles to be announced so far.
Baun spent his first four seasons playing as a hybrid on/off-ball linebacker with the New Orleans Saints, but when he came to the Eagles, Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio had him play exclusively off-ball.
Baun exploded in his new role, registering 15 tackles and two sacks in the Eagles' season opener. He went on to post 150 tackles in the regular season and became the second linebacker since 1991 to produce a takeaway in each of their first four postseason starts.
After the season, Baun was rewarded with a lucrative contract that ties him to Philly for years to come.
