Cam Skattebo is a big deal.

New York Giants fans certainly feel that way about their rookie running back, but it's not just them. There's a whole lot of fascination with Skattebo in general.

Google released its annual "Year in Search" data this week, and Skattebo featured prominently. He was ranked as the No. 4 trending figure in all of sports.

The top-five looked like this:

  1. Shedeur Sanders
  2. Terrence Crawford
  3. Cooper Flagg
  4. Cam Skattebo
  5. Micah Parsons

Sanders' place atop the list isn't surprising, but Skattebo's position might be.

He broke onto the scene in the College Football Playoff as a do-everything running back for Arizona State.

Getting drafted to a big-market team like the Giants didn't hurt his cause.

Then when he was on the field, Skattebo made a number of highlight-reel, physical plays that caught everyone's attention.

He added in a visually nasty injury to his lower leg to draw attention.

And recently, Skattebo made a viral WWE appearance.

So yeah, when you sum it up like that, it actually makes sense. Skattebo has been everywhere and has done a little bit of everything, enough to get the attention of sports fans all across the map.
