As soon as Kayvon Thibodeaux stepped foot on the Oregon campus, he made sure everyone knew he was much more than just a football player.
While at Oregon, the soon-to-be high first round NFL draft pick was able to create his own cryptocurrency as well as signing an NFT (nonfungible token) deal with Nike.
Thibodeaux will certainly be active in the business world during and after his football career. But even he was confused when asked by USA Today Sports about Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter for the whopping price of $44 billion.
The former Duck compared Musk buying Twitter to buying an NFT and asked Musk to let him hold some of that Twitter stock, but “the check won’t clear for another 15 days.”
Thibodeaux was surely referring to that signing bonus he’s about to receive from the NFL team that is about to select him.

We will see where Thibodeaux gets drafted on Thursday night in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft. Whoever takes him surely knows at this point that they are getting an eclectic star who will be involved with much more than juts sports.
