I tried to look this up (not because I didn't believe you but I wanted to see something in writing before I posted my thoughts) and the only thing I could find was something called "TeamRankings.com" where it has only Simmons of the Titans as a lineman with one more pass defended (that's the only category for tipped passes) than George but I'm not sure if their numbers are totally up to date.
Point is, he is either first or second by 1 for defensive linemen in deflecting passes, which is huge. Chiefs fans should know this better than anyone since you'll never convince me we win the SB without the three passes batted down by CJ. Karlaftis was a good to becoming great pick and will only get better with time. Not sure why anyone would knock him at this stage.
