Chiefs DE George Karlaftis likens himself to Khalil Mack, watches film on every NFL pass rusher

Trent McDuffie isn’t the only film junkie that the Kansas City Chiefs landed in the 2022 NFL draft.

Fellow first-round draft pick George Karlaftis also watches plenty of film, mostly to inform his game on the defensive side of the ball. Remember, Karlaftis is still fairly new to the game of football. He started playing during his Freshman year in high school and only played two full seasons at Purdue. He sees watching film as a way for him to constantly improve and add to his game.

“I like to watch film a lot,” Karlaftis told reporters at rookie minicamp. “I’ve watched just about everyone in the league, college and I’ve gotten film from as far back as 2009. I’ve watched a whole lot of guys, so I watch a whole lot of tape. Not one guy specifically. I like to watch guys who compare to me athletically, there are also guys that I watch that are in a whole different spectrum athletically. I like the whole gamut if you will.”
