There were plenty of encouraging performances in the Packers’ 36-19 pre-season win over the Bengals, but the most meaningful might have been that of Zach Tom.
Tom’s assured play at multiple position’s served as more confirmation he’s ready to start when the real games begin.
For Jordan Love’s lone touchdown of his short appearance in Friday night’s game, Tom locked down the right side, giving his quarterback time to float a pass to Romeo Doubs for the score.
Tom used not only his stellar athleticism to mirror the Bengals pass rusher, but also a newly found firm anchor to stand strong and keep him away from Love.
