The Kansas City Chiefs selected George Karlaftis in the first round with the expectation that he could be a top-tier defensive starter for years to come.
Karlatfis was a first-team All-Big Ten selection in his last season with the Purdue Boilermakers, recording five sacks, 11.5 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles and 35 total pressures. He walks into a locker room featuring a number of salty veterans to start his NFL journey.
One of those veterans, Chiefs DE Frank Clark, has taken a liking to Karlaftis. He’s been working with him daily after training camp practices, passing on the knowledge shared with him by former Seahawks greats Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril. As it turns out, however, Clark isn’t the only defensive lineman who has taken Karlaftis under his wing.
