T.J. Lang, G - #70 - Eastern Michigan
Lang started 47 games over the past three seasons (2011-13), which was tied for No. 1 on the team (CB Tramon Williams).
Lang has started 50 games in his first five seasons as a pro, opening contests at four different positions (27 at LG, 16 at RG, five at RT, two at LT).
In his three seasons as a starter (since 2011), Lang has helped the Packers rank No. 3 in the NFL in scoring (29.4 ppg), No. 6 in total offense (388.2 ypg) and No. 4 in passing offense (275.9 ypg) over that span.
Lang was born in Royal Oak, Mich., and attended Eastern Michigan University.
Lang began his college career as a defensive lineman, but converted to the offensive line as a sophomore and started 36 straight games (10 at RT, 26 at LT) over his final three years.
He was just the third draft pick in franchise history from Eastern Michigan, and the first in 37 years (LB Dave Pureifory, 1972).
Lang names Entourage and Dexter as two of his favorite TV shows, and Dumb and Dumber as his favorite movie.
Lang enjoys fishing, golf and being outdoors.
