Overview

  • Cam Skattebo, drafted 105th overall by the Giants, is determined to prove himself at the NFL level despite his collegiate success.
  • The Arizona State standout recorded 2,316 scrimmage yards, 24 touchdowns, and a top-five Heisman finish in 2024, but acknowledges he has 'proved nothing' in the NFL.
  • Head coach Brian Daboll praised Skattebo’s versatility, toughness, and contact balance, highlighting his potential in both the run and pass game.
  • Skattebo joins a crowded Giants backfield that includes Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary, with competition for playing time expected.
  • Questions persist about Skattebo’s breakaway speed after a 4.65-second 40-yard dash, but he remains confident in his ability to succeed through power and elusiveness.
