"When Cam Skattebo scored his first NFL touchdown in Week 2 on a 1-yard run against the Cowboys, his teammates went running toward him. They all wanted to be there to give him the obligatory slaps on the shoulder pads and happy bro-hugs as the rookie running back spiked the ball, flexed while staring into the network television camera and celebrated the achievement. They don't do that anymore. They've learned that Skattebo needs his space."
"He even pulled one off after the final snap of last week's win from the victory formation in the middle of the field. Each maneuver seems to be a bit different - against the Eagles, he did one with a running Simone Biles-style cartwheel into the flip, then landed it while pantomiming surfing - but they all involve him launching his 215-pound frame into the air, going completely upside-down and sticking the landing."
Cam Skattebo scored his first NFL touchdown in Week 2 on a 1-yard run against the Cowboys. Teammates initially rushed to celebrate but now give him space because of his signature post-score backflips. Skattebo has three touchdowns and physical runs that have helped the Giants win and added a tougher, more aggressive identity to the offense. Each scoring play is punctuated by a backflip; variations include a running Simone Biles-style cartwheel into the flip and a surfing pantomime after landing. He launches his 215-pound frame into the air, rotates upside-down and sticks the landing, surprising and impressing teammates.
