Green Bay Packers 2017 roster preview: David Bakhtiari

Bakhtiari was already considered one of Ted Thompson‘s finest draft picks (fourth round in 2013 NFL Draft) before the 2016 season got underway. Now he looks like a complete steal.

The left tackle put together his best season to date, landing Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors. What can we expect from Bakhtiari in 2017?

According to Pro Football Reference, Bakhtiari played 97.15 percent of the Packers’ offensive snaps.

Most impressive about Bakhtiari’s dominant season was the lack of help Mike McCarthy gave him. Bakhtiari and right tackle Bryan Bulaga often played on islands, forced to win one-on-one against opposing team’s premier pass rushers.
