I see a smooth mixture of JJ Watt and Derick Thomas.

Yeah go ahead and put this guy down as the breakout player next season. His drive to succeed and effort got him 6 sacks last year and the first half of the year he was so close to getting more.
Now that he is working on the technical side of the game he’ll be ready for primary and countermoves. He really was just kinda winging it out there using his college knowledge and effort. Now he’s gonna have that experience and training really pay dividends. He’s definitely getting double digit sacks this year barring injury

I know I couldn't have been a fan of the OLB conversion - he just didn't seem to have the athleticism for it. Some days the bear eats you...

I always thought Hali would be a good one. I just never envisioned he'd be an outstanding OLB in a 3-4. I thought he was a guy, especially after watching him play college ball, that they would use like they use some of their DE's now, moving him around the line to create mismatches.

Man it's hard not to be impressed by this guy. Trained with Stroupe last off season (maybe still is?) And is working out with an all time Chiefs great on details of the job. No matter where he ends up career wise in the end i'll respect the hell out of him for the work hes putting in.

Funny story.
While we were at camp, we were right next to George’s girlfriend chatting with her and after practice, George came over and in that couple minutes I mentioned to him how I think he’s similar to Tamba Hali and how he should reach out to him because some of the training he did may really help him. He said he would. I wonder if that’s how that started or the coaching staff reached out to Tamba, or if Tamba reached out directly to George. Fun to think that I may have played a role in them working together. |

I could EASILY see Karlaftis just getting completely absorbed in MMA training. He seems like a perfect fit for that.
That makes him like 800% more dangerous and i'm not talking about football. That guy with MMA training is like a bar brawl nightmare opponent |

It will absolutely help him with leverage, center of gravity and change of direction.
