Cam Skattebo

Running backs with 4.7 speed rarely receive starting consideration in the NFL – most of them have been moved to fullback by then – but Skattebo (5-foot-10, 219 pounds) could prove an exceptional case. He was outrageously productive at Arizona State and Sacramento State, leading the Giants to select him with the third pick in the fourth round of the 2025 Draft (105th overall). If Skattebo can make it in the NFL, it would likely be due to his extremely powerful running in traffic and standout short-area explosiveness. As bad as his 40 time is, Skattebo plays a tick faster thanks to his instant, almost infallible processing and powerful burst (39.5-inch vertical, 123-inch broad jump). In other words, Skattebo can't run away from anyone but might be able to dice up defenses with chunk gains. He runs with rare hostility and instantly lowers his center of gravity to absorb contact with impressive leverage, making it difficult for defenses to trap him once he gets to the second level. Tyrone Tracy was a promising pick for the Giants in 2024 and could remain their starter, but Skattebo is the much more powerful and volume-capable player of the two. With workhorse potential and standout pass-catching ability, Skattebo has big-time fantasy upside despite his 4.7 40 and the presence of Tracy. Read Past Outlooks
