The best pure pass protector of his era

David Bakhtiari's job was to keep Aaron Rodgers clean, and he did it about as well as anyone alive. The Colorado product, a fourth-round pick, was a nimble, patient blocker who almost never allowed pressure off the edge.

Madden had him at 66 as a rookie and gave him back-to-back 97s in the 2018 and 2019 editions, his All-Pro peak. A serious knee injury late in 2020 cost him much of what followed, but at his best he was the top pass-blocking tackle in the game.

How to read these: Each row is the player’s rating in that year’s Madden, listed by the NFL season it covers (Madden NFL 2001 = the 2000 season). Madden sets its ratings before the season is played, so they reflect the previous season’s performance - a player’s breakout year tends to show up as a jump in the following year’s game.
