With 56 days until the Kansas City Chiefs’ season opener against the Denver Broncos, starting defensive end George Karlaftis, who wears No. 56, is already on a second contract through 2030. The franchise’s all-time leading tackler, Derrick Johnson, set a high standard during his tenure with notable achievements, including four Pro Bowl selections and a Hall of Fame induction. The Chiefs’ offense struggled last season, particularly in the red zone, leading to a higher-than-average number of punts by Matt Araiza. To improve, Kansas City needs sharper situational play, especially in goal-line scenarios.
