Meet Cam Skattebo, Giants' RB draft pick with giant quads and a fun name image

Cam Skattebo had only one Division I scholarship offer out of high school.

That was from the Sacramento State Hornets at the FCS level. He eventually parlayed that into an opportunity at Arizona State.

And with the Sun Devils, he shone bright, so bright that he earned himself an NFL Draft pick at No. 105 overall by the New York Giants in the fourth round on Saturday.

Here's what you need to know about Skattebo:

Cam Skattebo college stats

Skattebo was a good player in his first season at Arizona State.

In his second, he was a superstar.

Skattebo ran for 1,711 yards in 2024 on 5.8 yards per carry. He scored 21 touchdowns on the ground.

He also caught 45 passes for 605 yards and three more scores, and he completed a huge pass during ASU's CFP near-comeback.

Cam Skattebo quads

Move over Saquon Barkley. There's a new quad sherrif in town.

Skattebo's legs are absolutely massive.

His bruising build led to only a 4.66-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, but he's also very, very tough to bring down.

Cam Skattebo pronunciation

Skattebo's last name isn't pronounced how you might think.

In colloquial words, it's more like "scat" "a" "boo."

It's a lot easier to say he's a star. And in the NFL, he'll have a chance to be just that.
