Kayvon Thibodeaux hopes Giants make statement of ‘resiliency’ to kick off season against Vikings

As New York gears up for its 100th year following a 6-11 showing in 2023, many Giants, including Daniel Jones and head coach Brian Daboll, will feel the walls against their backs as they look to prove the postseason trip two years prior more closely resembles what Big Blue is capable of accomplishing.

Thibodeaux, who’s coming off a campaign in which he led the team with 11.5 sacks, knows such a success would be made easier by coming out of the gates with gusto.

“Resiliency. Physicality. Speed,” Thibodeaux told NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero on Friday’s The Insiders, in response to what statement he hopes the Giants make Week 1 against the Vikings. “We’re gonna play with all the things we played with back in the day. This is the 100th year anniversary of the Giants, so hopefully we can let those superpowers from our ancestors come and take over.
