28. David Bakhtiari

David Bakhtiari played 11 seasons with the Green Bay Packers where the former Colorado Buffalo has proven himself to be one of the best Tackles in the NFL.

A Fourth Round Pick in 2013, Bakhtiari won the starting Left Tackle role as a rookie, and in 2016 he went to his first Pro Bowl, while also earning a Second Team All-Pro nod.  A Second Team All-Pro again in 2017, he was a First Team Selection in 2018 (although, he did not make the Pro Bowl).  In 2019, the Lineman was again a Pro Bowler and Second Team All-Pro, and while he was only able to play in 12 Games in 2020, he was so dominant, that he was a First Team All-Pro.  A plethora of leg injuries held Bakhtiari to 13 Games from 2021 to 2023, and he was released afterward.

In seven of Bakhtiari’s years in the NFL, he has posted double-digits in Approximate Value, with three of those seasons breaking 14.  Bakhtiari has also started all of the 131 Games he has played.  The man who protected Aaron Rodgers like no other, also downed a beer quicker than anyone else we have ever seen!  That means something, right?
