Packers OL Zach Tom handling adversity better than most rookies

The Green Bay Packers may have found another gem in first-year offensive lineman Zach Tom. This season it hasn’t been uncommon for Tom to fill in at multiple positions along the offensive line at a moment’s notice. But in those moments, he hasn’t looked like a first-year player.

“Certainly not like a rookie,” coach Matt LaFleur said of how Tom has handled being put into difficult situations in his first season. “He’s stepped in there, and you talk about not flinching in any moment, he’s done that. I feel like, for the most part, he’s played at a pretty high level. I’m excited about Zach and the flexibility of another guy that can come in and play multiple positions. You can’t have enough guys like that.”
