Had an NFC Personnel executive tell me “He reminds me of J.J. Watt, when Watt was coming out. An explosive and versatile playmaker who has a high motor and can line up at 3,5, or 7. Very strong kid” #NFL#NFLDraftpic.twitter.com/5qM3g6OrMr

Why didn't you bold that part?
Because it doesn't change the fact that he didn't say what you said he did.
He's clearly saying that Karlaftis doesn't get many sacks, but he gets pressures, and that just a dumb narrative based on the stat that Run posted. [Reply]
George Karlaftis generated a career-high 6 pressures on 20 pass rushes (30.0% pressure rate).
Karlaftis has recorded at least 3 pressures in every game this season and has nearly doubled his pressure rate (15.1%) compared to his rookie year (8.0%). [Reply]

Oh and he was absolutely held by the TE in the Endzone. That should have been called

He’s an absolute stud. This whole defense is insane. [Reply]
Mike Danna could end up making a lot of money in FA. He's got 2.5 sacks in 3 games.
If he puts up 10-12 sacks given all the other pass rushing threats on this team, he could bring back a nice comp pick. FAU is the clear replacement. [Reply]

And the guy is only 22 years old. Dear God [Reply]
Karlaftis is already becoming an all-around impact player. He can set the edge and contain well, tackles well, and is showing a great pass rush. I couldn’t be happier with him. What an unbelievably exciting, young defense! [Reply]
Projecting out how good this defense is going to be down the stretch is exciting to think about.
Cullen is transforming the DL group into a full blown elite unit.
When Omenihu comes off suspension, we’re looking like we could go on a special run of killing QBs. I bet we beat last years sack totals and possibly lead the nfl in sacks. [Reply]

They could have 3 10 plus sack guys with Karl, Danna, and Jones...scary [Reply]
