Kayvon Thibodeaux seems to be taking a page out of head coach and part-time magician Brian Daboll’s trick book.
Thibodeaux arrived at US Bank Stadium on Sunday before the New York Giants’ wild card game against the Minnesota Vikings wearing a top hat and chain. The rookie outside linebacker also sported a fur coat.
He shared the post to his Instagram story along with a photo from his childhood sporting a similar top hat.
NFL stadiums are no stranger to serving as runways, but Thibodeaux is certainly upping that tradition in his first playoff appearance.

Thibodeaux hopes the chain brings him and the Giants the same luck as fellow rookie Travon Walker. The Jaguars linebacker arrived at yesterday’s game wearing a pennant with his initials TW.
Walker assisted on two tackles and recorded a half-sack against the Chargers. More importantly, his team completed one of the greatest comebacks in playoff history, overcoming a 27-point deficit to advance to the divisional round.
While the Chargers’ playoff run did blow up, they did have their share of fashion moments courtesy of defensive end Morgan Fox.
Fox arrived in Jacksonville wearing a coat with images of his team on the lining.
