More to come!









What are the #Chiefs getting in George Karlaftis?

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 #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/5qM3g6OrMr

George Karlaftis was drafted with pick 30 of round 1 in the 2022 draft class. He scored a 9.23 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 116 out of 1503 DE from 1987 to 2022. https://t.co/iXXBvnoFJc #RAS #Chiefs pic.twitter.com/eZ9XjNRDUB

Very comparable, though.

Not the longest arms.
Not fast Hali 4.87 Karlaftis 4.75
Elite pressures, had to grow into a finisher. Hali was top 5 in pressures each year in years 2-4 but couldn’t crack around 8 sacks. Karlaftis has the third highest pressure rate of the last 3 years, but topped out at 7.5 sacks.
High motor. Both play to the whistle every down. Non stop.
Naturally strong and understands leverage

Hali 6’3” 275 at combine
Karlaftis 6’4” 266 at combine

Both were born in other countries and have a chip on their shoulder.

Karlaftis is basically Tamba Hali X1.1

I bet he has a similar career trajectory, too. Likely even accelerated because of better tools and coaching for Karlaftis. Karlaftis (if he stays healthy) will probably get 7-9 sacks as a rookie this year. Tamba had 8 as a rookie.

I bet it takes Karlaftis 2 years before he breaks out with 11-13 sacks, but it’s only a matter of time till he does. He’s going to build his strength and pass rush moves. That breakout may even come sooner.
Nailed it

This is a highly underrated point. I'll be sure to call Veach in the morning and tell him on the behalf of CP that we have his back 100%. He's doing a great job.

Doesn't hurt to have a guy used to cold-weather games while playing at Purdue.

Let's hope FAU can come close to the type of development we have seen from Karlaftis

Time we talk about what a grown man performance George turned in for the Super Bowl.

Got in on a sack of Purdy, got a huge tone setting fumble recovery on the first drive (among 3 Niners) and constantly held his position against the run throughout the game.

What a ****ing sendoff to a stellar season for George.

66 tackles and 13.5 sacks on the season (reg and post).

Not bad at all.

Man, there are too many players on this team I could say were my favorite. Just so well rounded. Great job by everyone.
