EAST RUTHERFORD – Cam Skattebo is one of the most popular players in the Class of 2025.

Now the Arizona State running back is a New York Giant.

The Sun Devils’ star is not a burner, as evidenced by his 4.66 40 at the Combine. But timed speed and play speed are two different things, of course, and Skattebo is one of the more intriguing prospects whose evaluations are all over the map. His production for three years and his ability to finish plays with great balance and physicality gives him a chance to have an immediate impact in a committee with room to grow.

NFL Network’s Brian Baldinger compared Skattebo to the Lions‘ David Montgomery, which seems fitting since, in some ways, the Giants envision a pairing with Tyrone Tracy and Skattebo similar to the way the Detroit Lions use Jahmyr Gibbs and Montgomery.

“Nobody respects the fact that I’m the best running back in the country. And I’m going to stand on that,” Skattebo said in December after leading Arizona State to the Big 12 championship. “I’m going to keep proving people wrong. And whatever NFL team takes me is going to get a gem.”
