It would probably be a stretch to call Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Zack Baun the prodigal son but the former Saints not-so-special teamer returns to his old haunts as one of the biggest stars on a Philadelphia Eagles team that boasts the number one defense in the league and preparing to play the Kansas City Chiefs

Former New Orleans Saint Zack Baun is coming off a career regular season: 151 total tackles, 3.5 sacks, five forced fumbles and 11 tackles for loss, all career highs and Baun can thanks Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio for his success.
