Philly Leader

Ahead of Super Bowl LIX, PhiladelphiaEagles.com is engaging with several assistant coaches to discuss key moments and players contributing to the team's journey to the championship.

Zack Baun's development this season has been a topic of interest. According to Bobby King, "I don't think you can put it on any one thing that he's improved on, he just had a chance, had an opportunity to show himself and he's done that. He's played physical. He's like a Swiss Army knife with about 12 different tools and blades on it. He's got a chance to show those. Yes, he has improved those, but he's a pro and he works at it every day."

The team faced challenges with Nakobe Dean's injury after witnessing his progress throughout the year. King described the situation as "Brutal for him. Brutal for our defense. It was a tough deal, but he's going to attack this thing. He'll be back, come back stronger. Knowing him, he'll probably come back faster and better. Just a tough deal, but Oren's (Burks) come in and he's doing a nice job himself."

King expressed strong confidence in Oren Burks and Jeremiah Trotter Jr.'s readiness for upcoming challenges: "Sky high. We've been working with both of them since April. They're both pros. They study. I couldn't have a better team right now to work with alongside with Zack, so let's roll."
