Kayvon Thibodeaux Will Meet with Detroit Lions Tuesday

Kayvon Thibodeaux will meet with the Detroit Lions for an official visit this week.

The NFL Network reported that the talented defensive lineman will meet with Detroit's personnel department and coaching staff on Tuesday.

Thibodeaux, 21, is widely regarded as one of the top prospects in this year's draft class.

Unfortunately, he has faced heavy scrutiny all throughout the pre-draft process.

There have been question marks regarding his commitment to football and whether he is ready to dedicate himself to the sheer amount of work it takes to reach one's potential.

Speaking at his pro day, Thibodeaux expressed he does not take any skepticism personally.

The one thing that has irked him, though, has been the notion that he isn't the best prospect in the draft this year.

“It’s only hard to not take it personally, if you don’t know yourself," he said. "If you know who you are inside and you know what you’ve given to the game and you know the sacrifice that you make, I don’t think you’re worried about it.”

Thibodeaux added, "I get sick when I see freshman year tape, just because I know the player that I’ve evolved into today. So, just being able to keep honing in on the craft. I always talk about it. If you use a knife 1,000 times, it’s gonna get dull, you know. So, just continue to sharpen and continue to keep gaining new tools and really being able to use them in the game.”

It’s another busy week for Oregon DE Kayvon Thibodeaux, who heads to Detroit for a visit with the #Lions (No. 2 pick) on Tuesday, then has the #Giants (5) on Thursday and #Jets (4) on Friday, per sources. He visited the #Texans (3) last week.
