As soon as the New York Giants selected Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter with the third-overall pick, all eyes turned to Kayvon Thibodeaux. The fourth-year pass-rusher was immediately thrown into trade rumors, even after they exercised his fifth-year option.
Ultimately, general manager Joe Schoen kept the 24-year-old on the roster in the hopes of forming one of the league’s most fearsome pass-rushing units.
Well, it took four games, but it’s starting to look like Schoen’s vision is coming to fruition. After demolishing a depleted Los Angeles Chargers offensive line, Big Blue’s defensive front is starting to take scary shape.
