Thibodeaux was selected fifth overall by the Giants in the 2022 NFL Draft.
The edge rusher wore the same number at Oregon where he starred. The number was previously worn by veteran kicker Graham Gano.
Thibodeaux also has a tattoo of five tally marks for five friends he “was going to become successful with,” according to the Giants.
The 21-year-old edge-rusher was one of two first-round picks for New York, which selected offensive tackle Evan Neal at No. 7.
