In the 2022 NFL Draft, the New York Giants found the next face of their defense in rookie outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux, selecting the Oregon standout fifth overall. Despite a slow start, Thibodeaux’s tremendous speed and pass-rushing ability led him to become arguably one of the most intriguing young defenders in the NFL, totaling 48 tackles, four sacks, two forced fumbles, and a touchdown. Starting alongside him is fellow 22-year-old and former Georgia Bulldog Azeez Ojulari. Ojulari consistently flashed his intriguing upside but has struggled to stay healthy, playing in just six regular season games and only taking 22 snaps across Big Blue’s two postseason games.
