WATCH: Kayvon Thibodeaux scoops, scores on his own strip-sack

Somehow, the New York Giants managed to get Kayvon Thibodeaux with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft.

During Sunday night’s game against the Washington Commanders, the former Oregon star showed off the kind of big-play ability that had many projecting him to go No. 1 overall for the last three years.

Early in the second quarter, Thibodeaux got to Commanders quarterback Taylor Heinicke, stripping the ball away and sending it bouncing away. He then got up, scooped up the ball himself, and took it into the end zone for the touchdown.

Already one of the most promising pass rushers in the league, Thibodeaux has a limitless ceiling at the next level.
