Kayvon Thibodeaux: 5 different potential 2022 NFL Draft landing spots

Oregon Ducks pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux will be one of the most coveted prospects in the 2022 NFL Draft. Where might he wind up playing as a pro?

The 2021 NFL Draft class may not have had a player of similar caliber to 2020 defensive rookie of the year Chase Young, but the 2022 NFL Draft class might. Oregon Ducks star pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux has been talked about at length over the course of the last eight months as a possible top-five pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, and for good reason.

When he took the field for week one of the college football season, Kayvon Thibodeaux did not disappoint.

He finished week one with just two tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss, and that brilliant forced fumble while showing exactly what makes him so special as a prospect. He’s got burst, he’s got length, and he can finish in the backfield.

A former five-star prospect, Kayvon Thibodeaux has been as-advertised since he got into the Oregon Ducks’ program, and his arrival to the NFL has been highly anticipated for quite some time now.

There’s a chance this guy could be the top overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft and even though he suffered an ankle injury in this game against Fresno State, the future looks bright and we will hopefully get to see him on the field against Ohio State in week two.

With the NFL kicking off games this week as well, we have the opportunity to take a look at some teams that Thibodeaux might end up playing for at the next level.

Which teams have the best chance at drafting high enough, and which teams have the most obvious need for a pass rusher that could be a cornerstone piece of their defense?

Let’s look at five NFL fits for Kayvon Thibodeaux.
