Cam Skattebo shares emotional moment when Giants drafted him image

The NFL Draft is a massive weekend not only for the teams selecting, but for the players who receive the life-changing phone calls.

Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo got to experience that moment fully when the New York Giants called just before selecting him with the No. 105 overall pick on Saturday afternoon.

The emotional and heartwarming moment was captured on video, and it's a reminder of what the draft is all about.

Skattebo brings the type of physicality and mentality the Giants are hoping to infuse the locker room with throughout the draft.

The First-Team All-American will join second-year back Tyrone Tracy Jr. to give the Giants an electric 1-2 punch out of the backfield behind quarterback Russell Wilson.
