The first choose Kayvon Thibodeaux will wear number 5 with Giants in New Yorkthe same number he wore as the American Consensus before becoming fifth overall pick out of the University of Oregon last month.
It only cost him $50,000 to get it from the veteran kicker Graham Gano.
The positive for Thibodeaux is that the money will go to charity. The two agreed to donate it to Puppies Behind Bars, which provides service dogs for wounded veterans and first responders in addition to explosive-detecting canines for law enforcement. Gano comes from a military family; His father served in the United States Navy for 30 years.
“I feel that that’s where the money Kayvon donates will be able to make the biggest impact and help the most people along the way,” Gano said. Giant’s website. “The whole idea behind being special for myself and especially for Kayvon is being able to help five people get five dogs and possibly making a better impact on five people’s lives. .

“That’s the whole goal behind that. I’m really excited about it.”
Thibodeaux joked during his introductory press conference that it would take a lot of zeros to get a number from the gano. After all, the safety of the former Giant jabrill peppers was unable to separate the number 5 from Gano, who said he wears it because he has 5 children (Bryson, Ryder, Kayden, Riley and Brynlee), they are 10 to 2 years old.
“It’s funny, you just know, this is real, we’re talking real numbers,” Thibodeaux said with a laugh. “When you tell someone 250, I don’t know what 250 means. You forget all the zeros behind it. Things are so different now.
“But yeah, he’s a great guy and obviously we’re going to build a relationship, and I’ll be able to really get in and we’ll talk about it.”
That’s what they obviously talked about right after the manuscript.
By the way, @kayvont and I know the shift in numbers will drop for about a week before we say anything. Love messing with you all every step of the way. 😁
