David Bakhtiari's last few seasons have been marked by setbacks to his left knee, but after his fifth surgical procedure to that knee, the All-Pro left tackle is optimistic about continuing his career.
Bakhtiari, who was released by the Green Bay Packers after 11 seasons in March, said in an interview on "The Adam Schefter Podcast" that he's "really happy" with the progress from his latest surgery, a major procedure which took place in November -- so much so that he hopes to play another couple of years.
"A lot of other people wanted me to just kind of grit through it, but no one experiences what you truly experience," Bakhtiari said of his decision to have the fifth surgery in November.
