In the article i posted on the last page it talks about the Saints moving him all around and moving him from his natural position. Sounds like that hurt his confidence a bit because he thought he was good enough to be more than just a tweener.
“There was days in New Orleans where I just came home and cried,” Baun told Yahoo Sports during a recent interview in Philadelphia. “I played on the ball; now I’m off the ball. I made a couple mistakes and then I felt like I let myself down in that situation and I let the organization down in that situation. Then they moved me to [strongside linebacker] and then I’m like ‘Dang, they moved me. I must not be doing good.’ Then I’d make another mistake.
“It just snowballed in my head that I felt like I wasn’t good anymore.”
