The Kayvon Thibodeaux horror show

Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux does not like to watch film of his 2022 rookie season.

“Last year’s film kind of disgusts me a little bit when I look at myself,” he said on Sunday. “I get a little cringe feeling.”

Thibodeaux, the fifth overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, had an OK rookie season with four sacks and 13 quarterback hits in 14 games, but it was hardly a dominant one.

“I didn’t reach the goals that I wanted to reach last year, but we did well as a team,” Thibodeaux said. “I gave myself a platform to continue to grow, and in the offseason, I put that work in, and now we’re here continuing sharpening iron. I’m excited for what’s to come as far as the growth of my game.

“Last year I had so many goals and I had so many numbers and statistics on what I wanted to be. I just want to be great. I want to help my team win. I want to be a guy who can make plays and make the plays when they count. I’m not really too fixated on numbers, I’m just fixated on really having an impact every game and being available every game.”
