The NFC South-reigning New Orleans Saints seem hopeful that rookie linebacker Zach Baun can be a “positionless” star in 2020.

The New Orleans Saints snagged 6-foot-2 Wisconsin linebacker Zack Baun in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, and they’ve set high expectations on him as he’s set to enter his rookie season in just a few months.

With Alex Anzalone and Demario Davis looking to be the team’s starting outside linebackers, the Saints seem hopeful that Baun can develop into a “positionless” talent that could replace those two or inside linebacker Kiko Alonso if any of the three go down.
