This is the kind of play that NY Giants defensive back Jason Pinnock is never going to forget. Matter of fact, plenty of fans are going to be talking about this interception for the rest of training camp, as No. 27 posted easily the best moment of the summer.
On Sunday morning, the G-Men were out on the field for session No. 4 of camp. Quarterback Daniel Jones was trying to make something happen, looking for tight end Darren Waller in the end zone. Out of nowhere, though, Pinnock leaped high into the sky and came down with an epic one-handed interception. Seriously, you've got to see this to believe it:
This is the nastiest practice rep interception I’ve ever seen. This needs to go viral.

Jason Pinnock posted the INT of his life on Sunday for the Giants
That's just sensational from Pinnock. The play was so good, even Waller had to give his teammate some props for that. Pinnock is entering his third season in the NFL and his second campaign with the Giants.
Last year for Big Blue, the 6-0, 205-pounder appeared in 14 games, making five starts. He posted 41 total tackles and three pass deflections for defensive coordinator Wink Martindale. Pinnock is getting a crack at winning a starting safety spot next to Xavier McKinney and this incredible INT will only help his chances. Keep an eye on him for the rest of camp, plus the preseason action too.
Kayvon Thibodeaux looking to put his rough 2022 behind him
Elsewhere on defense, second-year pass-rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux has high hopes for the 2023 campaign. The former No. 5 overall pick wants to make a huge splash and he wants to forget about some of his struggles from last fall and winter.
Kayvon Thibodeaux pretty critical of his own play last year. Thinks he could’ve eaten more.

“Last year’s film kind of disgusts me a little when I look at myself. I get a little cringe feeling. It definitely is a platform to continue to grow.” pic.twitter.com/bMvdA8bl6J
Thibodeaux really didn't hold back there, making it quite clear that he was disgusted at times with the way his rookie season went when looking back at film. However, the sky is the limit for this kid and people are confident he'll be able to have a huge season in '23. The close to his rookie season was a thing of beauty, as he really showcased his potential during the second half of the year.
