Surprisingly, the pendant and chain both are reversible, and they also glow in the dark. Kayvon’s pendant perfectly matches his swag, and it was pretty visible on the stage when he got drafted.
Saki added and said, “He can have 4 different looks in one chain and pendant, when the lights go off on the pendant, you still see the clouds and the stars.”
Kayvon is ready to take on the challenge in New York
Kayvon Thibodeaux is a talented young player, who looks to make an impact for the Giants from day 1. Being a top-5 pick in the NFL Draft brings a lot of pressure on many young players. However, Kayvon isn’t made like that. He is likely to make an immediate impact for a Giants team, that has struggled a lot over the past few years.

The Giants general manager Joe Schoen explained the decision to draft Kayvon Thibodeaux with the 5th overall pick and said, “We did a lot of work on those [offensive tackles], but after the pass rusher, after Thibodeaux, there was quite a drop, We like the tackles very similarly, so we thought it was best to let it play out and get the pass rusher first.”
Even though the player and the organization are quite confident about the pairing, it will only be proved right, once we get to see him on the field with the Giants jersey.
