Every year, the four main candidates for the Heisman trophy can visit Manhattan before the ad.
This year, Cam Skattebo was fifth on the list.
Therefore, there is no trip to the big city in mid -December.
“I was too discouraged by Heisman’s situation,” Skattebo said. “Those were great players. But now I go to New York for a long time, so let’s do it.”
Yes, Skattebo will spend a lot of time in the New York area, more specifically, on the other side of the Hudson River, in East Rutherford, NJ
The bruises and bulls were selected by the giants on Saturday in the fourth round of the NFL draft and provides a definitive dimension of how football directs.
“Physical, downhill, arrives at the final area of return,” Skattebo said. “I love writing TouchDowns. That’s what I do.”
It was no secret that the giants wanted to add a runner room that presented Tyrone Tracy Jr., they vete Devin Singletary and not much more.

The intermediate rounds is where general manager Joe Schoen points out as main real estate to obtain a corridor.
Skattebo exploded for the state of Arizona in 2024, running for a 1.711 yardas and 21 touchdowns school record and accumulating 2,316 yards of Purfosa.
You can catch the ball out of the field.
With 5 feet and 9 ¼/₂ and 219 pounds, it does not have a speed of 4.65 on the 40 -yard board, and probably does not escape from the defensive backs of the NFL.
“Yes, I would like that player, but I can do it if I need it,” Skattebo said. “I play my football brand, and continuously to do that, and that is what has succeeded me.”
In the university game, the lack of high -end speed did not matter much, since Skattebo simply broke cup or crossed the defenders.
He has a compact body with legs and tree trunk explorers says he plays more as a supporter than like a corridor.
Instead of avoiding contact, he enjoys it.
“You can return, watch a movie in the past,” Skattebo said. “It is always a very physical game for me. Since the age of six, I have been doing the same. Through my life, I have stayed with the path I have been well, and it is working. I will continue doing that because that is what is providing me successful.”
This selection occurs a year after the giants selected Tracy in the fifth round.
That turned out to be an excellent value, since Tracy ended second among all NFL’s rookies with 839 yards by land.
Now the giants have a 1-2 blow with Tracy and Skattebo.
It remains to be seen what happens with Singletary.
The 27 -year -old begins only five games in 2024 and was limited to only 113 attempts by land and 437 yards.
It is scheduled to count $ 6.25 million in the salary limit and is signed until 2026.
Having a fifth round and a fourth round selection in the backfield field is the preferred shape of the shoe to build an offensive.
The previous regime of the giants selected Saquon Barkley with the general selection number 2 in 2018 and, despite the periods of excellence mixed with injuries, Barkley after six years could not reach the terms of the giants, signed with the eagles, ran for 2,005 yards in the regular season and won a bowl.
Skattebo, after running for 170 yards and scoring three touchdowns in a 45-19 victory over Iowa State to win the championship game of the Big 12 conference, declared that “nobody respects the fact that I am the best running. If people, people and people. I will keep the people that people are wrong.”
It was the eighth corridor task in this draft.
Using a giant hat and surrounded by family and friends, Skattebo bathed his head and cried when he heard his name announced as the 105th general selection.
He did not recover the main sacrifices of programs that left high school in California and starred in the state of Sacramento before raising his NFL actions in the state of Arizona.
“The child shows more from the way of how people have doubted me a little, and now that the giants believe in me, I will believe in them and what they have and what a team we have, and I will leave.
“I am ready to give everything I have. I can’t wait to be there. It will be incredible.”
