“I don’t think I necessarily had to convince the teams of that, but that’s the media story, right? There must always be a narrative that is drawn. For me, I’m an LA kid. If you know the adversity I went through to get here and the things I had to sacrifice and the things my mother had to sacrifice to get me here, you would truly understand how I feel in my heart.” said Thibodeaux, via NFL.com.
Thibodeaux continued: “When you talk about fire, when you talk about passion, you can’t even really explain it. I get emotional even thinking about it. All the sacrifices it took me to get here, I wouldn’t have made all these sacrifices if I didn’t love the game. I’m blessed to be here and I’m just happy that these teams want to get to know me.
