Zack Baun Lands Top 100 Honor | Philadelphia Eagles News

Zack Baun, Philly’s inside linebacker, just cracked the NFL’s top 100 players at No. 45 — a player-voted honor that puts him alongside Jalen Hurts and Quinyon Mitchell as the only Eagles on the list this year. Though he slipped nearly 20 spots from last year’s No. 26, his 2023 impact was undeniable: 123 tackles, 7 pass deflections, 5 QB hits, 3.5 sacks, 2 interceptions, and a forced fumble in 16 games — earning him his second straight Pro Bowl. Despite the drop, Baun remains a dominant force, excelling in coverage, run-stopping, and pass rushing. With Nakobe Dean gone, Baun’s leadership is more vital than ever, especially as he teams up with rookie Jihaad Campbell. The Eagles are counting on him to anchor a defense primed for another strong season — proving once again why he’s one of the league’s elite linebackers.
