Cam Skattebo is back
By: Jake Rajala
We all thought thigh-man, Saquon Barkley was the baddest running back to play for the GMEN in recent memory. After all, he ran for 1,312 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns in 2022. Well, a fella from Arizona State, came along by the name of Cam Skattebo. First off, being wild, is a requirement from AZ State prospects. Skattebo once headbutted a wall before game to get pumped up. Well, another AZ State prospect by the name of Robert Gronkowski, once REALLY loved to party to get jacked up.
Cam unleashed 410 yards and five touchdowns in eight games. I know, that sounds like production that former Giants RB Tiki Barber could have in half that amount of time. In Week 6, Cam recorded three rushing touchdowns and 98 rushing yards. He was just starting to heat up. Then in Week 8, he suffered a severe dislocated right ankle. Cam was on pace to be a true OROY candidate. He has a chance to win Comeback Player of the Year in my opinion. Of course, the former Giants QB, Daniel Jones, could win CPOTY next season, too.
PFF has dubbed the Giants OL as the ninth best OL in the league. No, I’m not talking about the Eagles OL. If they can stay healthy and give Cam the ball more in space, then he should really be able to slowly break down defenses and help the Giants win the time of possession. Andrew Thomas went from enemy of the state to one of the strengths upfront.
Despite the similarities, Cam isn’t like former Giants RB Peyton Hillis in my opinion. Of course, Hillis was a fluke and had one good season in Cleveland. He suffered the worst Madden curse ever. Hillis recorded 1,258 rushing yards in his last 39 games.
