Despite rumors that they were concerned with his character, the New York Giants selected Oregon edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux with their top pick in the 2022 NFL draft.
That decision came on the heels of tremendous preparation. The Giants met with Thibodeaux several times during the pre-draft process including a last-second FaceTime call on Thursday. In the end, they had gathered the information needed and felt comfortable with their decision.
“We spent a lot of time with him. We met with him at the NFL Combine, I flew out there for his pro day along with a couple other individuals, and we had him in here for a visit,” general manager Joe Schoen said.
