Whatever the Detroit Lions decide to do with Kayvon Thibodeaux, it won't be for a lack of getting to know the Oregon pass rusher.
By the time the NFL draft kicks off later this month, the Lions will have spent as much in-person time with Thibodeaux as any prospect as they try and figure out if he is a culture fit for the organization.
Lions coach Dan Campbell told beat reporters Wednesday both he and general manager Brad Holmes spent time with Thibodeaux at the NFL combine in March. Holmes also attended an Oregon game in the fall, one of two college games he went to last year, the Lions sent a contingent of coaches and scouts to Oregon's pro day last week, and Thibodeaux is scheduled to make a top-30 visit to Detroit.
