By any and all measures, he is a very good running back. He can be great if he stays healthy and is afforded the opportunity,
Here’s hoping his rehab goes well and he is full force for the next season.
Some high praise from the man who's going to be blocking for Cam. Short excerpt:
Skattebo will like what he hears when he listens to Ricard compare him to Baltimore Ravens stud Henry. Speaking to NFL Insider Jordan Shultz on “The Schultz Report,” All-Pro fullback Ricard had this to say about Skattebo and ‘King Henry’: “I feel like Skatt is very similar. He might be a little bit smaller, but that dude runs really hard and really downhill. And just to see him play last year with (quarterback Jaxson) Dart, and just see, like, that juice and the energy that they bring. I’m really looking forward to, you know, blocking for him (Skattebo) and getting his career going.”

New York Giants All-Pro fullback Patrick Ricard has a lot to say about second-year running back Cam Skattebo and head coach John Harbaugh.

I like Cam's confidence:
Cam Skattebo insists he will be "ready to go" Week 1 as he continues his rehab from a gruesome leg injury. That is good news for the Giants as the running back had 125 carries for 617 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie. Skattebo has much bigger goals for his second season. "I do not consider that successful for me," Skattebo said of his rookie season, via Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press. "I had 400 yards on 100 carries. When I play 17-plus games this year, it's going to be 300 carries for over 2,000 yards."
Our view: As Profootballtalk.com points out, nine running backs have had a 2,000-yard season, the most recent coming by Saquon Barkley in 2024. Eric Dickerson owns the NFL record with his 2,105 rushing yards in 1984. Tiki Barber holds the Giants team record with 1,860 rushing yards in 2005. Skattebo's lofty goals might be over the top, but even though he only appeared in eight games last season, Skattebo was RB10 when he was hurt, despite not being a starter until Week 4. His RB20 ADP makes him an appealing play.
