More to come!









What are the #Chiefs getting in George Karlaftis?

Had an NFC Personnel executive tell me “He reminds me of J.J. Watt, when Watt was coming out. An explosive and versatile playmaker who has a high motor and can line up at 3,5, or 7. Very strong kid” #NFL #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/5qM3g6OrMr

George Karlaftis was drafted with pick 30 of round 1 in the 2022 draft class. He scored a 9.23 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 116 out of 1503 DE from 1987 to 2022. https://t.co/iXXBvnoFJc #RAS #Chiefs pic.twitter.com/eZ9XjNRDUB

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'm sure it was you man. If he doesn't thank you in his Hall of Fame speech I'll be stunned.

Tamba is the perfect teacher for George. His rep coming from college, like George's, was as an unpolished but "high motor" prospect. While Hali was seen to be raw, he proved to be a consistent worker on his craft. The ju jitsu had a significant impact on his effictiveness. Teamed with his "try hard" nature (and his natural athletic strengths), Hali turned into one of the best. I'm pleased George appears to be going the same route.

He did. I always thought he played above his athleticism. It's a testament to his motor, work ethic, and willingness to take on other things to make him improve his game like ju jitsu.

Every time I hear crybaby fans from other teams bitch about the Refs "helping the Chiefs" I think of all the times they missed choke holds teams choke holding Tamba Hali on his path to the quarterback. Imagine how many more sacks he'd have if they'd call those penalties and they stopped choke holding him.


My guess The Greek is going to run into similar problem but I hope the refs call it this time.

Here’s a pic I took of her before I struck up a conversation about halfway through practice. She was actually very down to earth and cool to talk to. We were a few feet back from everyone for awhile and I do t think anyone even recognized her till George came over after practice and after he spent sone time with Frank on “get off” reps snd conversations they were having about what to look for pre snap and technique to immediately transition from first to second move.

I’ll post pictures of them working together a few feet away from us, too.

Man, seeing them side by side George looks quite a bit bigger than Frank.

My prediction:

Furious George gets double digit sacks this season.

The unsuspecting pic of the girlfriend is a bit weird but other than that, keep the pics and stories coming, Boss.

I really think he's one of those guys that while he never has a 15-sack season he won't ever have a 4-sack season either.

He seems like a guy that's going to constantly contribute 8-10 sacks every year, year in and year out.
