Looks like he’s going lighter. Apparently his 2019 film at a lighter weight was better. I think people would agree if they compared the the different years of his tape

No way - he absolutely looked his best in 2019 and playing at 260ish could REALLY make him dynamic. I think that is an excellent development. I like what he did last year, don't get me wrong. But that would've left in in Tweener territory, IMO. He still wouldn't have been powerful enough to maul NFL tackles and he wouldn't have the bend required to finish some of these rushes off. A little leaner shouldn't cost him functional strength but may give him just enough burst and agility to help significantly w/ his pass rush. EDIT: Yeah - here it is: https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...&postcount=640 This is absolutely a good thing, IMO.

People think just bc someone weighs more they automatically win. Brown Jr had roughly 70 lbs on Myles Garrett and we all saw how that turned out. The interesting thing is that Karlaftis is elite at 2 important things needed for pass rushers: his hands and lateral agility. Dudes hands are huge. 10.25 is likely in the 97th percentile and you can see that helping him with power when he plays. He has short arms but his hands have helped him a lot against longer armed tackles skmply bc they can’t win that power game against his hands. His 3 cone was 6.78 and that is…damn. That’s like 99th percentile for DE’s. To put that into perspective: Justin Houston-6.95 Dee Ford-7.07 Frank Clark-7.08 Tamba Hali-7.28 Jared Allen-7.11 Karlaftis at 6.78 is insane. Especially at 266 lbs. if you’re under 7 seconds as a DL for the 3 cone that’s damn good. If you’re under 6.8 seconds that’s a damn anomaly. It’s elite athleticism, which I’m guessing they saw in him. You see guys with elite lateral agility use it all the time. Von Miller and TJ Watt constantly use that speed to win. And Karlaftis has got it. I really don’t give a shit if Karlaftis plays in the 250’s as long as he’s adding muscle and losing bad fat. But take one picture of his pro day and you’ll see the guy shirtless running his 40…there is hardly any fat on the guy. Like he’s gotta be around 10% body fat
