New Orleans Saints linebacker Zack Baun had what many would describe as an underwhelming rookie season.
A third-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Baun was seen as a tweener prospect coming out of Wisconsin and wasn’t really given a defined role in the defense during his rookie season.

Baun played a total of just 82 defensive snaps in his rookie year, just over seven percent of the team’s total defensive snaps. For all intents and purposes, Baun was a nonfactor in 2020.
But now switching to a new position in 2021, the Saints hope that things will be different.
It was recently revealed that Baun would be switching to more of a weak-side linebacker role after primarily playing on the strong-side last season. That switch is the first step to Baun carving out a role for himself on defense.
