George Karlaftis (Greek: Γιώργος Ματθαίου Καρλάφτης; kar-LAFF-tiss; born 3 April 2001) is a Greek-born professional American football defensive end for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL). He was born in Athens and grew up as a multi-sport athlete playing football, track and field, basketball, and water polo, the latter of which he played with the Greek national team.
