3. Pass-rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux

Kayvon Thibodeaux has played better each consecutive week he’s been on the field, and he balled out on Sunday. Thibodeaux was drafted No. 5 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft for a reason, and he displayed why he has superstar potential on vs. Baltimore.

Despite posting his first-career sack for four games, Thibodeaux has constantly gotten pressure on opposing quarterbacks and made his presence known, including last week’s pass deflection against Aaron Rodgers that helped seal the game.

On Sunday, Thibodeaux did what every star-pass rusher does: bulldoze their blocker and force a turnover to win the game for their team.

Thibodeaux blew right past Ravens right tackle Patrick Mekari, stripped the ball out of Jackson’s hand, and then tackled Jackson, allowing Leonard Williams to land on the football to seal the Giants upset victory.

Thibodeaux was emotional after the upset victory, and it is awesome to see a Giant care so much about winning football games. This is the first of many big plays he’s going to make for the G-Men throughout his career.
