Overview

  • Giants rookie Cam Skattebo ran for a career-high 98 yards and three touchdowns in a Thursday win over the Eagles.
  • On Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff, Dave Portnoy called NFL executives "morons" for passing on Skattebo and letting him slip to the fourth round.
  • Portnoy argued teams leaned too heavily on combine measurables and praised Skattebo’s competitiveness and influence on the locker room.
  • Selected 105th overall in 2025, Skattebo has assumed lead-back duties in New York and drew public plaudits from quarterback Jaxson Dart.
  • The former Arizona State star led the Big 12 with 1,711 rushing yards in 2024 and has quickly become a fan favorite for his lively persona.
