Cam Skattebo is a powerhouse, a personality, and apparently, a man allergic to shirts. After Thursday night’s win over the Eagles, the 23-year-old New York Giants rookie running back didn’t just make headlines for his stats — he made them for his abs.
On October 9, Skattebo turned in a breakout performance, rushing for 98 yards and three touchdowns in the Giants’ 34–17 victory. But his real “welcome to the NFL” moment came afterward, when he joined the Thursday Night Football crew on Prime Video. As analyst Ryan “Fitzmagic” Fitzpatrick started joking about the rookie’s energy, Skattebo — egged on by quarterback Jaxson Dart — ripped off his shirt, flexed, and chest-bumped the famously bearded Fitzpatrick live on air.

The shirtless scene quickly flooded social media, and to make sure no one missed it, Skattebo doubled down by posting his own victory shot on Instagram: walking off the field bare-chested, helmet in hand, captioned “Top 2… Not 2.”
Fans couldn’t get enough. “I love Bam Bam Cam Skattebo, he’s a beast,” one user wrote. “Daddy,” another declared. “Dude literally has the perfect physique for a running back,” added a third, as hearts and fire emojis filled the comments.
Lord God… I just want to thank you for sending me Jaxson Dart & Cam Skattebo. I apologize for questioning your existence during the past 7 years. It was foolish of me. Thank you for omnipotence & grace. Amen. 🙏 pic.twitter.com/iT0oYpNyll

The viral moment caps an explosive start to Skattebo’s rookie season. He’s already earned FedEx Ground Player of the Week and Pepsi Rookie of the Week nominations, plus Good Morning Football’s Angry Runs scepter. He also made Giants history as only the second rookie in franchise history to rush for three touchdowns in a single game.
Next up, Skattebo and the Giants head to Denver on October 19, then face the Eagles again on October 26.
