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

Here he uses the same move (with better technique) to pull former 2nd round pick Teven Jenkins off balance and more susceptible to his rip move. This results in him pressuring the QB in just under 2 seconds and actually hitting him in around 3. pic.twitter.com/RPMxEiLEcM

Finally, here’s my fav play so far. Expecting a chip from the TE GK slows down putting him in poor position with the LT. Using his knowledge that “1 arm is longer than 2” that so many DL coaches preach, he makes up the lost ground and BULLYS the LT back and crushes the pocket. pic.twitter.com/mjvV7LPtUP

Karlaftis is the guy who only throws 91 but is dedicated to the craft of being a Pitcher rather than a Thrower!!
