John Harbaugh urges Cam Skattebo to direct energy in positive way for Giants

John Harbaugh, the New York Giants coach, has urged running back Cam Skattebo to channel his intense energy in a more positive direction during training camp. Skattebo's aggressive approach has drawn attention, with an NFL reporter noting that his presence brings a distinct energy to the team. However, Harbaugh warned that Skattebo's intensity can be infectious in a negative way, potentially leading to penalties and unnecessary conflicts.

He emphasized that the Giants want Skattebo's energy to be directed positively, as his physical style can be both a strength and a liability. Skattebo's production last season was impressive, rushing for 410 yards and five touchdowns, and catching 24 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns. The challenge for Harbaugh is to make Skattebo's edge useful when it matters most, rather than allowing his aggressive style to hinder team discipline and structure.
