Can a pass rusher really break out after posting 11.5 sacks in his sophomore season?
Former NFL scout, and player, Bucky Brooks believes that’s indeed the case for New York Giants edge defender Kayvon Thibodeaux.
Brooks named Thibodeaux to his “All-Breakout” defense, a list of young defensive players that Brooks believes stand on the edge of stardom.
Brooks writes,
After amassing 11.5 sacks in his second season, Thibodeaux could become the next elite pass rusher to flourish in the Big Apple. The 6-foot-5, 258-pounder thrives as a speed rusher off the edge — and now he’s in position to really wreak havoc, lining up across the formation from two-time Pro Bowler Brian Burns.
