At Oregon, where he played collegiate football, Thibodeaux earned the Morris Trophy in 2020, was selected as a unanimous All-American in 2021 and was awarded the Pac-12 Defensive Freshman of the Year in 2019. The Giants selected him with the fifth overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

The Giants are optimistic that Thibodeaux will improve their pass rush. The defense has played an important role in the Giants’ 2-0 start to the season. Although Leonard Williams, who is now battling with an MCL strain, is expected to miss the game, their defense would benefit even more if they could receive full participation from their edge rusher.
