The famous David Afrasiab Assad Bakhtiari is an American football offensive tackle for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League. He played college football at Colorado and was drafted by the Packers in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft.
During the Packers’ ‘Family Night’ inter-squad scrimmage later in training camp, starting left tackle Bryan Bulaga succumbed to a torn ACL injury. Due to the injury and Bakhtiari’s play during training camp, he was inserted as the starting left tackle in the Packer’s first preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals at Lambeau Field. Though they lost, it was later noted that one of the positives to take away was the steady play of the rookies.
Where did David Bakhtiari go to high school?
He attended Junípero Serra High School in San Mateo, California. Junípero Serra High School is a Catholic college preparatory high school in San Mateo, California, United States, serving students in grades 9–12. A part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Francisco, this school provides education for young men.
He later went on to start every game at left tackle for the Packers, becoming the first rookie to do so in Green Bay since the start of the 16-game schedule employed by the NFL in 1978 and the only NFL rookie to start every game that season at left tackle in 2013. He was a key contributor to Green Bay finishing seventh in the league for rushing (blocking for rookie running back Eddie Lacy) and sixth in passing for the first time since 2004.
