Zack Baun: Top Graded LB / DPOTW [Why Baun Isn’t Still a Saint Thread]

Yeah.. regardless of how or why.. it's definitely a shame that a 27 year old linebacker that we drafted is now immediately blossoming elsewhere.
For sure. I've long been one of his biggest supporters around here. I was so excited when we drafted him--even knowing it would be a project. He grew up literally just one town over from me (Wisconsin suburbs). He was an amazing athlete, starting as a WR and then switching to a QB in high school. He passed and rushed for nearly 2K apiece as a senior--with 20 passing TDs and 39! rushing TDs. All while being an all-state basketball player and track star. He was raw transitioning to defense at UW, but was so explosive. I really thought we'd develop him, but it just never came together--until last year.
