Who is George Karlaftis? FowlerRyan1 breaks down a top edge rusher in the 2022 class that might not wow some people on paper, but certainly wows on the football field. FrontOffice33 | NFLDraft
A saying true for edge defenders at both the collegiate and pro levels, it’s been a statement to live by for Purdue 5-tech George Karlaftis. Dubbed the “Greek Freak” of the CFB landscape, whose toolbox as an outside pass-rusher rivals the top prospects in the class, his story has gone relatively untold and his skill set has been massively underrated as we head into the meat of the pre-draft circuit.
While his sack numbers won’t jump off the page, microscoping Karlaftis’ deep toolkit outside the tackles has produced some of the most impressive tape this fall. As prior mentioned, everything for the 6-foot-4 defender starts up top with his hands. He wins early, wins often, and in a multitude of ways. Whether it's a quick rip move to grease the edge or a “catch” of the opposing tackle’s hands to then quickly swim to the inside, he’s as technically refined as they come this spring.
While Kerrigan had less of an athletic profile than Karlaftis, who’s a fluid mover in space, Kerrigan—like Karlaftis—won consistently with refined technique and a game that constantly evolved to win technically instead of relying on physical gifts to get home. It’s not that Kerrigan couldn’t bend and use speed around the edge, but compared to classmates in Von Miller, J.J. Watt, and Robert Quinn—all 2011 selections ahead of Kerrigan—he didn’t match up.
