George Karlaftis A ‘Relentless All-Rounder’

Rookie defensive end George Karlaftis could be just the injection of energy the Kansas City Chiefs need next season.

“Relentless,” Karlaftis said when describing his style of play. “I get after the quarterback. I stop the run.

I feel like my best football is ahead of me.

“I’ve been only playing football for about six to seven years now, so I’m really excited to develop under a great system, great teammates, great organization.”
