Joe Bachie was a critical member of the Michigan State defense from the moment he arrived on campus in 2016. Bachie played in 40 games over his four years in East Lansing, recording 285 tackles, 28 tackles for loss and 7 sacks. Bachie was also a two-time all-Big Ten team member.
The former Spartan captain went undrafted in the 2020 NFL Draft, but was quickly picked up by the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent. Bachie has spent this season on the Saints practice squad.
The Philadelphia Eagles will face the New Orleans Saints this Sunday at 4:25 p.m. EST.
