Giants NFL Draft results 2025: New York selects Cam Skattebo, RB, Arizona State in Round 4

With their fourth-round pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, No. 105 overall, the New York Giants on Saturday selected Cam Skattebo, running back, Arizona State.

The 5-foot-9½, 219-pound Skattebo is a bruising back who will join Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary in the Giants’ backfield. Skattebo had a Round 2 grade on the Big Blue View Big Board.

Scouting reports

Dane Brugler (The Athletic):

Skattebo will struggle with some short-area cuts once he gets rolling downhill and can do a better job pressing the line, but his best traits are his finishing toughness and sturdy balance to absorb hits, which make him a chore to tackle. He needs to improve his consistency as a pass blocker, but his versatility as a receiver is an asset (first FBS player with 1,500 yards or more rushing and 500 yards or more receiving in the same season since Christian McCafrey). Overall, Skattebo is a thickly built, compact runner who is more quick than explosive, but he competes with tremendous resolve and understands how to rely on his pad level and contact balance to get the most out of every carry. He is a draftable option for a team looking to upgrade its backfield physicality.

ESPN:

Skattebo is the first FBS player since Christian McCaffrey in 2015 to have at least 1,500 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards in a single season. He has outstanding core strength and excellent balance — he can break multiple tackles over the course of one run. Skattebo runs behind his pads, drives his legs and pushes the pile on goal line or short-yardage carries. He catches the ball well and cuts crisply in his routes, which makes him that much harder to tackle in open space.

NFL.com:

Carnage creator with a compact frame and elite contact balance. Skattebo can break through second-level tacklers and careen off of bodies for extended yards after contact. He reads his blocks quickly and is more elusive in the early stages of the run than he’s probably given credit for. He lacks top-end speed and will have to contend with bigger, better tacklers on the next level. Skattebo’s effectiveness as a receiver out of the backfield should add to his draft value. His physicality and edge should bode well for him as a complementary back with three-down value who is capable of helping an offense wear down the defense.
