GREEN BAY – Four years and five weeks ago, Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari was playing in his fifth pro game, lined up across from a five-time Pro Bowl pass rusher.
Now a Pro Bowler himself, Bakhtiari held his own against Baltimore’s Terrell Suggs that day. Suggs, who would be chosen for his sixth Pro Bowl in 2013, compiled some tackles but did not have a sack in Green Bay’s road victory.
Bakhtiari could take some pride in that as he charged ahead in his promising rookie season. He also took quite an education with him.
