The University of the Oregon football program held its annual Pro Day this past Friday and defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux was the headliner. Most, if not all of the league was in attendance and he reportedly met with many of the teams picking in the top half of the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft after it wrapped up, including the Baltimore Ravens.
Heading into the 2021 season, Thibodeaux was projected to be the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft. However, after a strong but not spectacular or consistently dominant junior season coupled with the emergence of other top prospects at his position such as Michigan’s Aiden Hutchinson and Georgia’s Trevon Walker, that projection is unlikely to come to fruition.
