David Bakhtiari is the Green Bay Packers’ left tackle of the present and future, and he is unquestionably one of the top players at his position in the NFL right now. Just before week one of the 2016 season, Bakhtiari signed a new long-term contract that added four years and $48 million onto his rookie deal, a contract which currently has him tied for the fifth-highest-paid left tackle (and fifth-highest-paid offensive lineman overall) in the league.
However, Bakhtiari somehow was not listed on this year’s NFL Top 100 list.
While he was annoyed about not making the list, that’s not at all Bakhtiari’s biggest problem with it; overall, the process doesn’t jive with the outspoken tackle, who has never been shy about expressing his opinions.
