The 2007 season was a career best in terms of tackles made as he ended the campaign with 67, along with one sack and two interceptions.

In 2007 Bartell started the first four games in place of right cornerback Fakhir Brown who was on the NFL suspended list.

For the season he played in 16 games, starting 14 and made 56 tackles (46 solo), one sack, three interceptions, 20 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovered.
