New York Giants’ young sensation Kayvon Thibodeaux gets emotional after gifting his mother a new house
New York Giants star Kayvon Thibodeaux is already making an impact in his family's life. After a decent start to his rookie season in "The Big Apple", Thidobeaux is setting his sights on being more impactful next season.
The defensive end is doing his part for his family and his mother with the newfound fame and money that accompanies being an NFL player. The young star has bought his mother a brand new house.
After a childhood that saw him apart from his mother, Thibodeaux detailed what it means to be able to give his family an opportunity to all be together again.
Thibodeaux said in a video posted to his Twitter account:
“I can’t really explain this, you work so hard, you put everything on the line every day just so you know that your family can be happy. When I was in high school, I had to live with another family and after that I went to college, so you say for five years of my life, I never had dinner with my mom, you know, we never sat at the table.
