Chiefs *****The George Karlaftis Thread***** - Page 200

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

How about Albert Lewis having more than Tamba Hali?

He’s definitely pushed that floor really really high and I think it’s fair to say he is still getting better.

A young proven 10 sack a year guy who produces in January would not make me upset if we opened the checkbook

And he’s clean.

No injury history or off field concern….good teammate, is still improving and his advanced stats suggest he’s going to have a big year next season. Very young and the entire contract would be for his prime years. Veach would be brilliant to try and ink GK to a long term contract EXTENSION at current market value.

If he can’t, we still have GK under team control the next 2 seasons after this and a franchise year after that.

I loved him. I wanted him since his freshman year at Purdue. I just love the kid.

Fingers crossed!

Dude saved the season.

Bills knew they'd be going for it on 4th down on the final drive. 3rd & 10 call was safe to pick up yardage

Except #Chiefs all-out blitzed and were vulnerable to a WR screen
