GREEN BAY — David Bakhtiari has no interest in trying to predict the future.
The Green Bay Packers veteran left tackle doesn’t know whether training camp and the 2020 NFL season will start on time in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic; whether he and his teammates might protest or show solidarity during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” before games; whether quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be a man on a mission after the team drafted his heir apparent in Jordan Love; or if he’ll get a lucrative extension as he enters into a contract year.
After all, having spent every offseason training at ProActive Sports Performance in Westlake Village in suburban Los Angeles, Bakhtiari never would have predicted a global coronavirus outbreak would force ProActive to open a quasi-satellite facility in the home gym of Clay Matthews, Bakhtiari’s workout partner and former Packers teammate.
