The Packers Potentially Have the Best Left Side of the Offensive Line in the NFL

The Green Bay Packers enter the 2020 season with potentially the best left side of any offensive line in the NFL. Starting left tackle David Bakhtiari and starting left guard Elgton Jenkins are both considered among the top players at their respective positions.

Bakhtiari has long been considered one of the best pass blockers in the NFL. The former Colorado star has been a starter since entering the NFL in 2013 and has missed only six games in seven seasons.

Bakhtiari protects Aaron Rodgers’ blindside against some of the top pass rushers in the game. That task is made more difficult due to Rodgers’ tendency to hold onto the ball longer than most quarterbacks as he attempts to extend plays or make big plays downfield.
