Cam Skattebo Says He's Still 'Running People Over', And The League Is Watching

Holy smokes, NFL fans! Get ready for a comeback story with some serious physicality, because Giants running back Cam Skattebo just dropped a bombshell about his return from a gruesome ankle injury. The dude is built different, and he’s making it crystal clear: that Week Eight injury from his rookie year? It ain't changing a thing about how he plays. He's coming back to punish tacklers, just like before, and the league better be ready.

This Ain't Your Average Comeback, This Is Skattebo Ball

You remember Skattebo, right? The guy who made a name for himself as a fourth-round pick by just absolutely lowering his head and initiating contact with tacklers. He doesn’t shy away, he runs through people, and he loves it. That’s why his ankle injury in Week Eight last season was such a gut punch. It cut short a promising rookie year where he was easily exceeding expectations and looking like a major bright spot for the Giants. But don’t you dare think that’s going to slow him down. Skattebo straight up told NFL Media, “It ain’t gonna change who I am. I had an injury, you know, it is what it is. I’ve still got plenty of football left, plenty of life left, I’m not going to let this little ankle thing bother me. I’m going to get back [to] running people over like you see on the videos.

Falling Back in Love With the Game, With Full Support

It's not just Skattebo's own fire talking, either. He’s got the full backing of the Giants' new coaching staff. New head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy are apparently all-in on his recovery and his future role. Skattebo himself said, “Coach Harbaugh and Nagy, I’ve felt nothing but support and love from them. They’re always on me about getting back, and they’re starting to see where I’m at in my process and they’re starting to trust it. They’ve been really good to me. I trust both of those two, as [well] as everybody else on the staff. It’s been nothing but joy and happiness for me, just starting to fall back in love with the game after an injury for sure.” That kind of trust from a new regime is huge for a player coming off a serious injury. It sounds like he’s got the green light to be exactly who he is on the field. This kid is ready to pick up right where he left off. He’s itching to get back to being the bruising back we saw glimpses of, the one who was poised to light up what was a disappointing season for the Giants last year. Get ready, football fans. When the season kicks off, Cam Skattebo is coming to run people over, and it's going to be must-see TV.
