The New York Giants may find themselves in the once implausible position to select Oregon edge defender Kayvon Thibodeaux at No. 5 in the 2022 NFL Draft. Thibodeaux’s possible draft slide seems odd with the weakness near the top of the 2022 NFL Draft, and with the dearth of “proven” quarterback talent.
Questions about Thibodeaux’s fire and passion - fair or unfair - were circulating the Combine and his decision not to work out ostensibly corroborated the detractors’ theories.
Thibodeaux’s comments about the perceived University of Alabama’s educational deficiencies in a January interview with Fox Sports Draft analyst Joel Klatt were not received well; Thibodeaux expounded about Oregon, Phil Knight, and his brand post-football.
