Former ASU running back Cam Skattebo keeps making waves in NFL
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo, who starred at Arizona State, is getting attention for his punishing play in the NFL.
East Rutherford, N.J. — Former Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo made his presence felt right away during the New York Giants' game against the Arizona Cardinals at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 4. Upon stepping onto the field, Skattebo showcased his prowess by engaging in an unusual pregame activity with teammate fullback Patrick Ricard.
The two engaged in a head-to-head collision reminiscent of two rams, drawing attention from an older gentleman in a Giants jersey who quipped, "That Skattebo, I'm just waiting for him to get a concussion. That kid is crazy."
Skattebo has become known for his aggressive playing style, and he paid the price for it once again. The NFL fined him $7,073 for an illegal use of his helmet during the Giants' Week 3 victory over the Tennessee Titans. In that incident, Skattebo used his helmet to forcefully collide with a linebacker's face, aiming to create a blocking opportunity.
Despite his on-field antics, Skattebo continues to make waves in the NFL. This story first appeared in the Arizona Republic.
