Karlaftis is doing fine. He's never going to be that quick twitch edge rusher with great bend. He's going to get his sacks from hard work and hustle. He's batting down passes, he's getting pressure. His sacks aren't glamorous but there were many times last year, especially against Burrow, when we needed those cleanup sacks and couldn't get them.
I haven't really seen any run game breakdown on him. I'm wondering if that is what is driving such a low pff grade.
Time will tell how he grades against Williams, Ebiketie, Hall and the other guys taken right after him.
