Leaders returning to Packers’ offense in 2022: David Bakhtiari

David Bakhtiari had a rough 2021 campaign–to say the least. He struggled to return from the torn ACL he suffered in December of 2020 and was never able to truly return to the field. He did play a bit in the season finalé against the Detroit Lions, but wasn’t even able to suit back up for their playoff contest.

He’ll have another offseason to get his body right, as Green Bay needs him to return to form. He also has the respect of his peers off the football field and will be a stabilizing force along the offensive line that has had a lot of turnover in recent years. Green Bay lost Billy Turner and Lucas Patrick in free agency–their third and fourth major offensive linemen to leave in recent years. With all the turnover, Bakhtiari’s leadership will be needed more than ever before.
