During one segment, McAfee talked about Hawk’s appearance at Churchill Downs for the 150th Kentucky Derby

The former Packers star linebacker was alongside a team of his former Green Bay teammates, including New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and three-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman Bakhtiari.

Hawk was photographed with Rodgers as ESPN showed the photo to viewers.

McAfee mentioned Bakhtiari’s appearance and asked Hawk if he knew anything about his future.

Bakhtiari played just one game for the Packers due to a knee injury in 2023 and was released by the team in March, becoming a free agent.

But Hawk had no idea what McAfee was asking and replied, “About what?”

The numerous McAfee hosts could be heard in the background reminding Hawk that he could have asked Bakhtiari if he was still injured and his employment status.

“Oh, I don’t know, where is he going?” Falcon said.

“We’ll be back tomorrow,” the former NFL punter turned sports media personality joked.

“This is the Pat McAfee Show.

“Sorry, you watched.”

Hawk then admitted that he didn’t know whether Bakhtiari was a free agent or not, or whether he was still with the Packers or not.

Hawk was Bakhtiari's teammate for two seasons before the NFL retired him in 2016

McAfee reminded Hawk that the ESPN show had previous segments talking about the possibility of Bakhtiari joining Rodgers and the Jets.

Both were teammates from 2013-22 and the Jets needed depth on the offensive line before selecting tackle Olu Fashanu in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Hawk finally regained his memory about Bakhtiari during the segment.

The former Packers linebacker played with Bakhtiari in Green Bay for two seasons (2013-14).

Hawk appeared in two more seasons in the NFL before ending his 11-year career in 2016.
