Finally, we have the most obvious player to watch, in potential No. 1 overall pick Kayvon Thibodeaux.

Kayvon had an absolutely monster game Saturday and did a large portion of the work for the Ducks’ defense, racking up sacks, tackles, and tackles for loss like it was nothing. He ended the game with 9 tackles (8 solos, 1 assisted), 4.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, and a QB hurry.

In his return game from injury with a chance to play nearly every snap, he lived up to the hype and expectations he has had entering draft season come 2022.

If you are going to watch the game, keep your eyes on No. 5 if you can, as he is going to be an absolute monster to witness this season as he has been previously.
