The New York Giants have struggled to put it all together in their first two games of the 2024 NFL season.
Daniel Jones hasn’t returned to the form that led the Giants to the playoffs, and their defense has allowed 49 combined points in two games.
Not exactly the start they were looking for.
While the team is struggling to get anything going, they do have a few key players on the roster that can make a massive impact in any given game.
One of those players is Kayvon Thibodeaux, the Giants’ No. 5 overall pick from the 2022 draft.
Thibodeaux has a lot of potential as a pass-rusher and has been one of the lone bright spots on the Giants defense.
Based on his recent comments shared by Giants Videos on X, it makes sense why he has had so much success to this point in his career.
“You either have a lot of talent or a lot of skill or you’re Myles Garrett,” Thibodeaux said, also indicating that he’s modeled his game after Garrett’s.

Garrett has been one of the best pass-rushers in the league in recent history, so he’s a great role model for any player to have, at least when it comes to his on-field attributes.
If Thibodeaux and his teammates can play in a similar style to Garrett, they should be okay.
They’ll have to start this new style of play soon, however, as they are currently 0-2.
If they lose again this week, their motivations could quickly wane, as it’s nearly impossible to make the playoffs after starting the year 0-3.
