Wisconsin’s Zack Baun earned himself a huge incentive for first Pro Bowl honor

Posted on by newssite

Love to see this for Baun!

One of the best stories in the NFL this season has no question been the incredible play of standout linebacker Zack Baun. Before this year, the average football fan didn’t know much about him, but things sure have changed for the former Wisconsin Badgers star.

Baun made NFL history in 2024, becoming the first player to ever finish a campaign with 150 total tackles and five forced fumbles. He’s been a rockstar for the Philadelphia Eagles, leading to him being selected to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career.

You know this means the world to Baun, as he has worked his tail off to get to this point. Getting that Pro Bowl nod is one thing, but it turns out he also has 500,000 additional reasons to have a smile on his face over the news:

Zack Baun earned a $500,000 incentive for making his first Pro Bowl

Yup, you’ve got to love this for Baun. He wasn’t the only former Badger to make the Pro Bowl, as T.J. Watt, Andrew Van Ginkel and Jonathan Taylor got the good news as well. Watt is in prime position to be named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year too.

With Baun, this Pro Bowl update indeed does mean a lot to him, but he’s also hoping he can end the campaign in style with the Eagles. It has once again been a great year for Philly, with this team hoping to go on a deep postseason run.

In the regular season finale, the starters are going to get the day off against the New York Giants. With that, Baun will be able to sit back and relax and work on getting himself mentally ready for the postseason. Once the offseason gets here, he’s going to land a big-time contract from either the Eagles or a new team. He 100 percent has earned it.
