Packers offensive tackle changing his name from Zach Tom to Zach Bako-Bewele‎

The Green Bay Packers' starting right tackle is changing his name from Zach Tom to Zach Bako-Bewele as a way of paying tribute to his Nigerian ancestry. Bako-Bewele told reporters Sunday that Bako is the last name of his father’s mother and Bewele is the last name of his father’s father. Bako-Bewele said he had been thinking about doing this for a few years, “probably back since college at least.”
