Kayvon Thibodeaux and Evan Neal have amazing NY Giants futures
That video is nothing short of sensational. Starting with Thibodeaux, you can see just how determined he is to record plenty of sacks for new defensive coordinator Wink Martindale. No sacks by Week 5? If that’s somehow the case for the former Oregon standout, he’s going to find a way to get that issue fixed as soon as possible.
As for Neal, he had head coach Brian Daboll laughing with his take on pancake blocks. Neal said that he’s got built-up aggression just like everyone else and he likes to take it out on the field. If someone cuts him in line when he’s out , he joked he can’t do anything because he’d get arrested for it. So, he’ll release his anger out on an opposing defensive lineman trying to get through to his quarterback.
On top of that, Neal said there’s nothing he doesn’t like about football. He loves the game with all of his heart and nothing is going to change that. Between what he and Thibodeaux had to say, Giants nation must be ready to run through a wall in excitement knowing just how ready these two are to help change the culture of the organization.
After going a lowly 4-13 last season, the Giants are looking to bounce back in 2022. With the schedule release on the way, people will be ready to see who this team faces come Week 1 and beyond. The countdown will begin for when Thibodeaux and Neal will make their official regular season debuts and there’s countless people who will be ready to check it out.
