Giants’ Rookie Skattebo Sparks Excitement Ahead of 2025 Season

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Cam Skattebo, the New York Giants‘ rookie running back, is generating significant excitement as he prepares for the 2025 season. Arriving from Arizona State, Skattebo has quickly won over fans with his powerful playing style and charm.

Skattebo, 23, is more than just a bruising back. During his final season at Arizona State, he racked up 2,316 scrimmage yards and scored 24 total touchdowns, showcasing his ability to both run through defenders and catch passes out of the backfield.

The Giants plan to feature Skattebo in a rotation with fellow running backs Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary. Sports analyst Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report describes Skattebo as a potential “biggest table turner” for the team, highlighting his impact on the Giants’ offense.

“Rookie running back Cam Skattebo has the potential to make the group even better,” Knox wrote. “His physical running style can give the Giants an edge in late-game or short-yardage situations.”

The Giants are looking for a player like Skattebo, especially as they come off a tough 3-14 season. His gritty playing style is expected to help them compete in one of the toughest schedules in the league.

As the Giants prepare for the upcoming preseason, Skattebo’s hamstring health will be a key factor. Fans are hopeful that any minor setbacks will not hinder his ability to contribute. Skattebo’s previous success at Arizona State shows he has the potential to be a difference-maker for New York.

If he can stay healthy, Skattebo may help turn the Giants’ fortunes around and rekindle excitement for the franchise.
