Karlaftis is the classic high-effort edge who turns every pass set into work. The sack total is good, but the repeatable pressure and relentless finish are what make him a foundational starter.

Strengths: 66 pressures, consistent production, motor, quarterback hits, and primary-rusher role.

Weaknesses: Offenses will keep sliding attention his way, and converting pressure into more sacks is the natural next step.
