*****The George Karlaftis Thread***** (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=343615)

lets go

put the ****ing hurt on Wilson, Herbert, Carr... all the ****ing QB's except Mahomie!

We need Spags and Joe Cullen to let this Greek kid know that Tershawn Wharton is called “Turk” but it is just a nickname, so let’s be friends.

When he played Ohio State, we shut him down. He was quieter than a church mouse.

I would have taken Christian Watson.

How many more times you to remind us?

Bart did fine tonight

McDuffie C+

George B-

Joe Cullen knows what he’s doing with the DL guys.

If he signed of on Karlaftis, then that’s all you need to know.

Lol yeah he's so slow dude had 10 pressures against one of the best coached offensive lines in the country

Chiefs selected Purdue EDGE George Karlaftis with the No. 30 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

In another age, Karlaftis (6’4/266) would have been guarding Mount Olympus, as the Purdue star was born in Athens, Greece before moving to Indiana, where he developed into a four-star recruit. He was a foundational player for the program, logging 843 snaps while generating 54 tackles, 17.0 TFL, 7.5 sacks, two PBUs, and an interception and earning first-team Freshman All-American and second-team. Last year, Karlaftis posted 41 tackles, 11.5 TFLs, five sacks, three fumbles, and two PBUs while earning second-team All-American recognition. The five sacks weren’t eye-popping, but those numbers don’t show just how destructive he was on an every-down basis, as the Greek strongman posted the second-highest pressure rate in the nation when lining up against left tackles and ranked seventh in quarterback hits with 14. He backed up the on-field performance with a strong set of testing numbers, ranking as the 120th most athletic edge defender out of 1,455 that have tested for the NFL since 1987. Karlaftis has a frenetic first step, rushes with a plan, and displays exceptional hand technique to go with a relentless motor while his stout base makes him hard to move in the run game. Though he gets critiqued for lack of elite bend, Karlaftis has the power, work ethic, and talent to be a quality starter in the league for years to come.

Oh.

This is gonna age SO well.

Get ready to see this quoted in some sigs.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The Chiefs filled their two biggest needs with CB and EDGE. McDuffie is a terrific athlete with size questions, and Karlaftis has been productive since his freshman year, big question is can he step in and produce Day 1?

I like this guy, he’s fast and bendy on the edge.

7 sacks 2019
4.5 sacks last year..

seems like another chiefs reach pick (reach..get it..,this guy has t-rex arms)

we dont need more pressure we need qb killers..
