Cam Skattebo became something of a college football folk hero at Arizona State.
That was due in part to his ability to do everything on the football field. But it was maybe most because of one thing: He loves running people over.
Skattebo plans to bring that to the NFL as a rookie RB with the New York Giants.
“It feels good when you get in the end zone, but imagine running someone over and then running another person over and then getting in the end zone,” Skattebo told reporters this weekend. “It’s that much better.”
Skattebo measures up at 5-foot-9 and 219 pounds.
He's one of those running backs with quads as big as tree trunks.
“When you’re physical it shows the work you put in, in the weight room, and how much you do to make your game better,” Skattebo said.

Skattebo showed in his dominant final college season, in which he led the Sun Devils to the College Football Playoff, that he can run, catch and even throw the ball.
The Giants have an established running back in Tyrone Tracy but beyond that have plenty of backfield work to go around.
“I’ve worked 18 years to get to this moment, I’m on an NFL team now and I still have more to prove,” Skattebo said. “I’m excited to get to work and prove what I am.”
