It’s Kayvon Thibodeaux Day in Detroit Lions media, apparently. After NFL insider Josina Anderson dropped a report that the Lions’ “current mindset” is to select Thibodeaux with the first overall pick, Lions head coach Dan Campbell jumped in quickly to dispel the rumor.
The entire story was sparked by a 40-minute conversation Anderson had with Thibodeaux that is well worth your time, though. There’s even a bit of a Lions tie-in there, too.
Being picked first overall was a big topic of conversation. Thibodeaux said he’d feel blessed to go anywhere in the draft, but he admitted there is something special about going first overall.
