Packers Set to Shine: Zach Tom

This marks Zach Tom’s first season as the full-time starter, yet he exudes the aura of an established veteran on the Packers’ offensive line.

Such rapid trust and confidence earned him this esteemed position, standing out as one of Green Bay’s top five linemen. Throughout training camp and the preseason, Tom primarily operated at right tackle, securing his spot as the starter while Yosh Nijman gradually slid down the depth chart.

However, what sets Tom apart is his versatility. In the event of a guard getting injured or Josh Myers encountering further difficulties, Tom appears ready to seamlessly transition to the interior, providing stability to the line. It’s this adaptability that’s greatly prized and positions him as a player to closely monitor this season.
