"Be Somebody to Somebody...that's how I got here." Kayvon Thibodeaux

As we continue to make our way through NFL Training camps, we continue to visit and sit with star players from around the league getting inside scoop, hearing never-told-before stories and going inside the locker room mentality of the 32 teams as they prepare for the 2024 season.

Stopping in the Big Apple after a crazy wknd at Fanatics Fest, we get the opportunity to sit with one of the top defensive players in the league who is looking to lead the New York Giants out of their rebuilding phase and into the post season phase.

New York Giants are working on getting back in contention for the NFC East title and we sit with Defensice End, Kayvon Thibodeaux who shares his honest insights into the team's path forward and how the last two years have been transformative not just for him, but for the entire Giants organization.

Thibodeaux doesn't hold back as he shares his perspective, takes accountability, and gives blunt honesty about the current state of the team to Ryan, Fred, and Channing. He opens up about how this year's Giants team stands apart from the past, revealing how he and his teammates are learning from their mistakes and recalibrating to make a different type of impact this season.

In this episode, Thibodeaux reflects on his journey from his Southern California roots to becoming an #5 overall NFL draft pick. He opens up about the lessons he learned along the way, candidly discussing the responsibility of making money and his commitment to spending his earnings wisely, regardless of outside opinions. Thibodeaux also touches on feeling underestimated as a player, and despite being one of the most dominant linemen in the league right now, preparing for his next chapter- whether that be being a coach in the NFL or managing a NY cricket league.

Thibodeaux and the guys also dive deep into the Xs and Os of the game, discussing how changes to the team- like the loss of RB Saquon Barkley- is a loss but doesn't weaken the NYG, only fuels them to work harder. It is important to find consistency with his teammates and have everything "clicking"- as the defensive star candidly reflects on the disconnect that plagued the Giants over the past two years. Solidifying the defensive core with new additions and the excitement around first round pick Malik Nabers has the Gmen fired up and focused for the future. He tells the guys how pumped he is to showcase how the Giants have regrouped and redefined themselves this offseason under Brian Daboll's leadership.
