Kayvon Thibodeaux, the highly anticipated 2022 first-round pick, recently made headlines for his unexpected absence during the Giants’ latest victory against the Cardinals. In a video shared by Giants superfan Joe “License Plate Guy” Ruback, Thibodeaux is shown isolated from his celebrating teammates, sitting on a bench with his head down following Saquon Barkley’s remarkable touchdown in the fourth quarter. While the rest of the Giants players were engaged and upbeat, Thibodeaux remained separate from the group, sitting at the opposite end of the sideline next to two inactive players.
Ruback expressed his disapproval of Thibodeaux’s behavior in the video and remarked, “I don’t like this at all.” However, he also clarified that the video was merely his perspective and opinion. He acknowledged that he couldn’t be certain of Thibodeaux’s circumstances at that moment, whether he was injured, meditating, or for some other reason. Regardless, the sight of Thibodeaux being apart from the team raises curiosity.
It’s worth noting that other defensive players like Dexter Lawrence were seen on the opposite end of the sideline, celebrating together with a larger group of players. Thibodeaux was noticeably isolated, with no other players by his side except for a casually strolling Darius Slayton. Thibodeaux’s performance this season has also been underwhelming, with only one solo tackle, one quarterback hit, four combined tackles, and zero sacks in the first two games. In particular, his lackluster showing against the Cardinals is cause for concern.
Thibodeaux, however, took to Twitter after the game to express his determination to improve, saying, “Just gotta keep getting better; one for the good guys!” The Giants had high hopes for Thibodeaux this year, especially after his impressive four-sack performance last season. Unfortunately, his disappointing play has contributed to the overall struggles of the Giants’ defense.
The Giants now face a challenging matchup against the formidable San Francisco 49ers and their offensive mastermind, Kyle Shanahan, on a short week. It remains to be seen if Thibodeaux can bounce back and prove himself in this crucial upcoming game.
