After what seemed like a lost season for David Bakhtiari, the Green Bay Packers need to find guys who can pair well with Jordan Love on the field.
Fortunately, offensive tackle Takla Rasheed Walker is more than ready to step up.Bakhtiari’s constant injuries and significant contract make him a liability for the Packers. Walker, on the other hand, showed what he can do when given the task during the Packers’ impressive season last season.In the absence of Bakhtiari in Week 2, Walker rose to the challenge of Green Bay.
And even though he shared that position with Yosh Nijman in Week 8, Walker still managed to become more important in the lineup than before..

Even two-time Pro Bowler Elgton Jenkins sees the promise of Walker starting for the Packers later this year.
Due to Walker’s young age and much more room for improvement over the years, he has a pretty good chance to start over Bakhtiari and Nijman. If that happens, his hard work will soon be vindicated..
