Two seasons with the Eagles – two consecutive appearances on the NFL's Top 100 Players list.

After another productive year in 2025, the NFL announced on Wednesday that Zack Baun has been ranked as the 45th best player in the league by his peers entering 2026. After his breakout year with the Eagles in 2024 that earned him an All-Pro selection, Baun was ranked No. 26 in NFL's Top 100 Players of 2025.

Baun joins Jalen Hurts (No. 56) and Quinyon Mitchell (No. 47) as the third Eagle to make the NFL's Top 100 Players of 2026.

The former Wisconsin Badger recorded 123 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 20 quarterback pressures, seven passes defended, and a career-high two interceptions in the 2025 regular season. He captained a defense that allowed the fewest passing touchdowns in the league (14) on the way to a second consecutive Pro Bowl selection. - Written by Caroline Connor
