Packers T Zach Tom Adopts New Last Name Bako-Bewele

Zach Tom, the starting right tackle for the Green Bay Packers, has officially changed his last name to Bako-Bewele. This change will be reflected on his jersey when the team takes the field in September.

The new name combines elements from his grandparents' names, reflecting Tom's desire to honor his family's Nigerian roots. He expressed that he wants a name that he can pass down to future generations, representing his heritage.

Entering his fifth season with the Packers, Bako-Bewele recently signed a four-year contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2025 season.
