Packers T Zach Tom changes last name to Bako-Bewele
The Packers are expected to have the same starting right tackle as last season when they take the field in September, but there will be a different name on the back of his jersey. Zach Tom told reporters on Sunday that he has changed his last name to Bako-Bewele. The name is a combination of names from his grandparents and the tackle explained that he wanted to honor his family's Nigerian heritage."Thats really the main reason why I did it," Bako-Bewele said, via Matt Schneidman of TheAthletic.com. "I want to have a name, especially when I start having kids, I want to have a name that I can pass down where it represents where they came from, where I came from. I just feel like that name people will see that name and have a good understanding of who I am, where I come from."Bako-Bewele is going into his fifth season with the Packers and he signed a four-year extension before the 2025 campaign.
