Packers Rants & Raves: T.J. Lang's Return

When T.J. Lang was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round of the 2009 draft, he was an offensive tackle coming out of Eastern Michigan and was thought to be the eventual replacement for one of Mark Tauscher or Chad Clifton. Both Tauscher and Clifton were solid tackles for the Packers during their respective careers, but their time was coming to a close and the team wanted to groom a replacement. After a few stints in spot duty at tackle during his rookie season, Lang did anything but instill confidence that he was going to enjoy a decade-long career as a book end on the offensive line.
