Packers RT Zach Tom named first-team All-Pro by Pro Football Focus

Green Bay Packers right tackle Zach Tom was named a first-team All-Pro at right tackle by Pro Football Focus for the 2024 season.

Tom, who earned an elite run-blocking grade and gave up only 24 total pressures, beat out other worthy candidates such as Lane Johnson of the Philadelphia Eagles and Penei Sewell of the Detroit Lions for the first-team honor from PFF.

Among offensive tackles, Tom ranked third in run-blocking grade (90.0), 11th in pass-blocking grade (82.1) and fourth in overall grade.

Tom gave up three sacks on 562 pass-blocking snaps and was penalized seven times. He held down the right side in front of Josh Jacobs, who rushed for 1,329 yards and 15 touchdowns while powering one of the NFL’s most productive run games in 2024.

Tom, a fourth-round pick out of Wake Forest, has started at right tackle each of the last two seasons for the Packers. He will enter the final year of his rookie deal in 2025, so a lucrative contract extension is something the Packers will have to strongly consider this offseason.

While PFF noted Tom’s excellent season, the Pro Bowl did not. Tom was not even voted an alternate for the Pro Bowl.

Safety Xavier McKinney was a second-team All-Pro at PFF. He finished behind Kerby Joseph of the Lions and Kyle Hamilton of the Baltimore Ravens.
