Giants Rookie Skattebo Impresses, Honors Family Tradition

New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo, a fourth-round pick from Arizona State, has impressed coaches and management in offseason workouts with his football intelligence, work ethic, and versatility. Skattebo wore No. 44 to honor his brother and because his preferred No. 4 was retired for Hall of Famer Tuffy Leemans. His senior year at Arizona State featured 1,711 rushing yards, 21 touchdowns, and 605 receiving yards, highlighting his dual-threat abilities. General Manager Joe Schoen and scouts have praised Skattebo’s rapid adaptation to the playbook, physical running style, and competitive mindset. Despite a crowded backfield, Skattebo’s attention to detail and adaptability have set him apart. He is expected to play a key role as the Giants aim to revitalize their offense after a disappointing season.
