The listed 6’2,” 235 pound linebacker (with 31 3/4” arms) was originally signed as a 2020 undrafted free agent by the New Orleans Saints, before later playing for both the Philadelphia Eagles (2020) and Bengals (2021-24)—the latter under new Colts veteran defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo.

During his 5-year career, Bachie has 48 tackles (26 solo) and a pass defensed during 51 career games (2 starts).
