Are the Philadelphia Eagles boasting the NFL’s premier off-ball linebacker duo? Zack Baun’s transformation from special teamer and edge rusher to All-Pro coverage linebacker has shocked the league, with back-to-back years leading the team in tackles and ranking among the NFL’s best in blitzes, sacks, and pass defense.
