He matches the physical prototype of Parker’s (and Fangio’s) unicorn SAM.
Zach Baun has been a real miracle for the Eagles. The Saints didn’t know what to do with him but Fangio unlocked him and he’s now the heart of their defense.
Keys to Barham’s success will be his ability to take the green dot and handle the coverage responsibilities of the role. He was a late add to the green dot test team that Parker set up but reports are that he’s been studying his butt off.
The coverage side of things at Michigan looked bad, because QBs completed a huge percentage of attempts against him but most of those were kinda short and underneath. It’s definitely an opportunity for him and improvement here will be one of the things that allows him to be an every down player.
For anyone thinking Jaishawn Barham is too big or slow to play that hybrid, look at how his athletic traits stack up against Zack Baun's draft profile.
He basically has the exact same speed and explosiveness, just in a longer, heavier frame:
| Metric | Barham (2026) | Baun (2020) | Advantage |
| Height | 6'3 ½" | 6'2 ⅜" | Barham (+1⅛") |
| Weight | 240 lbs | 238 lbs | Barham (+2 lbs) |
| Arm Length | 32 ⅜" | 32 ¾" | Baun (+3/8") |
| Hand Size | 10 ¼" | 9 ⅝" | Barham (+⅝") |
| Wingspan | 80 ⅛" | 78 ¼" | Barham (+1⅞") |
| 40-Yard Dash | 4.64 seconds | 4.65 seconds | Barham (-0.01s) |
| Vertical Jump | 33.0 inches | 32.5 inches | Barham (+0.5") |
| Broad Jump | 123" (10'3") | 115" (9'7") | Barham (+8") |
