Kansas City Chiefs rookie DE George Karlaftis is incredibly excited about his new situation in the NFL.
A three-year starter at Purdue, a quick glance over Karlaftis’ raw stats might not reveal the most impressive numbers. In 27 games played, he notched 99 total tackles, 25.5 tackles for loss, 12.5 sacks, one interception, five passes batted, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. One reason that Karlaftis wasn’t more productive in the box score is that he was often the focus of the opposing offensive coordinator’s game-planning.
He didn’t just face double-teams on a regular basis, but he also faced the rare triple-team more frequently than most in the 2022 NFL draft class.
