Kayvon Thibodeaux wreaks havoc for New York Giants in Week 8
Kayvon Thibodeaux was a one-man wrecking crew on Sunday against the New York Jets.
Thibodeaux couldn’t be stopped and accounted for 9 tackles, 3 sacks, and 1 forced fumble. He played in Eugene from 2019-2021 and was taken by the New York Giants with the fifth overall pick in last year’s NFL Draft.
Sadly for the Giants, Thibodeaux’s efforts weren’t enough to earn a win. The Giants lost to the Jets 13-10 in overtime. Thibodeaux was too much to handle for the Jets’ offensive line and was in the backfield multiple times.
HUGE day for KT 😤👏
