What they're saying

"
If the New York Giants get the same Kayvon Thibodeaux this season who showed up the first few days of training camp, he’ll force his way onto the field and make himself a lot of money next spring. Thibodeaux tipped a pass from Jameis Winston in the first practice and intercepted one in the second earlier this week, showing flashes of what made him the fifth pick in the 2022 draft. “You just want to be the best player you can be," Thibodeaux said Saturday.
