The New York Giants have selected Kayvon Thibodeaux, an offensive tackle from the University of Oregon, with pick No. 5 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Thibodeaux is one of this year’s premier edge prospects, joining Travon Walker and Aidan Hutchinson as the top defensive linemen coming out of college.
Standing at 6-foot-5 and 258 pounds with moderate-sized arms with a length of 33-1/8 inches, Thibodeaux is an elite athlete at the defensive end position. However, the one knock on the Oregon product is that he relies too much on his power and athleticism making while his skill lags behind.
