Statistically, Bakhtiari has been one of the best tackles in the league. This offseason he signed a 4 year contract extension with the Packers worth up to $105.5 million.

The Packers face the Chicago Bears on Sunday. With a win, they secure the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC and would host throughout the remainder of their postseason.
