Wisconsin Badgers linebacker Zack Baun is now a member of the New Orleans Saints, who traded up to pick him in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft. And he couldn’t be happier about it.

Baun spoke to fans for the first time in a video shared from the official Saints Twitter account, emphasizing how excited he is to join a team with such a strong culture of winning lots of football games. That echoes a sentiment shared by the Saints’ first-round pick, Cesar Ruiz, who was also eager to get to work with a team that owns a winning tradition.

That’s wild to hear given many Saints fans remember the days when the team was lucky to finish the season around .500. But it goes to show just how great of an era of Saints football we’re experiencing. To put it into perspective another way, the Saints have had just two seasons with six or fewer wins in Ruiz’s lifetime.

So, they’re certainly motivated to hit the ground running. You can see Baun’s messages for yourself where we’ve embedded them below:
