Chiefs' George Karlaftis: Makes strides in sophomore campaign
George Karlaftis compiled 47 tackles (29 solo) and 10.5 sacks over 16 games during the 2023 regular season.Karlaftis displayed some signs of a breakout down the stretch of the 2022 campaign, amassing all 6.5 sacks over the final nine games of the campaign, and he didn't let his foot off the gas in Year 2, reaching double digits in the sacks column despite sitting out the regular-season finale against the Bengals. He's only in his second year of what could be up to a five-year deal, when factoring in the fifth-year option for first-round picks.
