GREEN BAY, Wis. – Green Bay Packers standout Zach Tom is the fifth-best right tackle in the NFL, according to ProFootballFocus.com’s list of the top 32 offensive tackles.
Which begs the question of why the Packers would ever consider moving him to center, even if only for a fleeting moment.
A couple weeks before this year’s draft, ESPN.com’s Rob Demovsky told ESPN Wisconsin’s Wilde & Tausch that a Packers source considers Tom a “Pro Bowl right tackle” but a “potential Hall of Fame center.” With that lofty projection, is it possible the Packers, in the quest to field their “best five” linemen, would shift Tom to center to replace Josh Myers?
