The Most Important Packers: No. 8 — RT Zach Tom
This Forbes article analyzes Green Bay Packers right tackle Zach Tom as the 8th most important player for the 2026 season. It details the Packers' disappointing 2025 campaign, where they went 9-8-1, blew multiple double-digit leads including a 21-3 halftime lead in a playoff loss to the Chicago Bears, and finished with five straight losses. Tom signed a four-year, $88 million extension in July 2025 but missed six games and couldn't finish three others due to injuries, including a partially torn patellar tendon requiring offseason surgery. Despite injuries, Tom was Green Bay's best lineman when healthy, earning an 83.5 PFF grade (7th among tackles), allowing no sacks, and committing only one penalty. The article reviews his career from a 4th-round pick in 2022 to a first-team All-Pro in 2024, and notes his expected return during training camp.
