Pro Football Focus has singled out Zach Tom as crushing it in preseason:
What Pittsburgh is to drafting receivers, Green Bay is to drafting offensive linemen, and the Packers may have found another gem in rookie Zach Tom. A fourth-round draft pick, Tom has impressive movement skills and has now had back-to-back preseason games with good grades in every facet. He has yet to allow a pressure across 40 pass-blocking snaps at right tackle and has been impressing as a run blocker, also. The Packers haven’t been shy about rewarding lower draft picks with playing time if they earn it, and Tom should have that in his sights now.

This is incredibly unsurprising.
To be fair, Tom projected at RT or C and those are the two positions on the line that were settled going into the draft.

Tom can play any OL position
Tram an earlier report at Packers camp:
Zach Tom arrived at Green Bay Packers rookie camp in May looking to be a five-position player on the offensive line.
Just six practices into training camp, Tom is four-fifths of the way to that goal, though perhaps there’s an even bigger goal in front of him. On Tuesday, the first full-pads practice of the summer, Tom worked with the No. 1 offense at right tackle. There was no need to tell the fourth-round pick what was at stake with this latest test of his versatility.
“Honestly, they just say, ‘You’re going to be playing right tackle tomorrow.’ That’s it,” Tom said at his locker after. “But I can read between the lines. They’re giving me an opportunity to run with the 1s, so you’ve got to make the most of it.”
Tom played LT at Wake Forest
Anyone bring up John losing his finger nail during practice with the Bengals? Guess he’s out for a bit.
