The Oregon edge rusher’s many interests and L.A. roots display why he’s deserving of a top-10 selection in the upcoming NFL draft.
INDIANAPOLIS — Kayvon Thibodeaux put plenty of effort into reminding reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine on Friday that he’s from South Central Los Angeles.
It takes effort to have business plans and study journalism while being a student-athlete. It takes effort to build a brand and it deserves admiration to put that much effort into many areas – opportunities that are rare for inner-city minorities from Los Angeles. For all the discussion about Thibodeaux’s football efforts, it would be shocking if he’s available after the 10th overall pick in April’s draft. And perhaps those discussions are why Michigan’s Aidan Hutchinson has become the No. 1 edge rushing prospect, and not Thibodeaux, according to most mock drafts.
Clowney, however, has had a productive NFL career and that’s not a bad floor for Thibodeaux’s career projections.
