Kayvon Thibodeaux was turning plenty of heads on Sunday morning when he rocked up to AT&T Stadium in Dallas wearing full Cowboy uniform.
Not that of the New York Giants’ NFL opponent, of course, but instead leaning into the local culture and donning a hat, boots and a leather waistcoat.
It was the linebacker’s decision to forgo a shirt that had most people talking though, exposing his six pack as he joined his teammates entering the stadium.
Social media, unsurprisingly, had a field day discussing the bold look, with the majority of fans mocking the 6-foot-5 former first-round pick for his outfit.
‘What in the Y-M-C-A is he wearing,’ one joked, referring to the music video for the Village People hit so beloved by president Donald Trump.
Another went along the same lines, imploring the stadium DJ in Dallas to play the 1978 hit through the speakers ahead of the game.

A third wrote: ‘This is why Belichick can’t stand the NFL anymore. It’s all about this fashion show, and end zone dances instead of actual football and winning.’
Some, meanwhile, backed the 24-year-old California native, with one posting: ‘Cowboy Kayvon is locked in and ready to ride.’
The 0-1 Giants are the underdog heading into the game against their fellow 0-1 rival, the Cowboys, who narrowly lost to the Super Bowl champion Eagles last time out.
Thibodeaux is a key cog in the Giants’ defense, which conceded 21 points in a loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 1.
