Should the Commanders Bring in David Bakhtiari to Lock Down the Left Side of the Offensive Line?
When healthy, David Bakhtiari is one of the better left tackles in the NFL. The issue is he’s played in just 13 games over the last three seasons.
After being drafted in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft, Bakhtiari went on to start all 16 games for the Packers at left tackle after incumbent starter Brian Bulaga tore his ACL in the preseason. Bulaga returned healthy in 2014, but because of the play of Bakhtiari, he was moved to right tackle, leaving the second year player to protect the blindside of Aaron Rodgers.
During his 11 seasons in Green Bay, Bakhtiari made All-Pro five times and was selected to three Pro Bowls. From 2013 to 2020 he missed a total of 10 games.
