"A reporter was asking Daboll a question when rookie running back Cam Skattebo, football's version of the Tasmanian Devil, walked behind the media pack. Skattebo stopped, smiled and gave a sarcastic sidearmed wave to Daboll behind the row of cameras. Daboll closed his eyes, smirked and shook his head. He had lost his train of thought. "Sorry, Skattebo," Daboll said as if this type of humorous interaction was a common occurrence. "Can you repeat [that question], please.""
"At that point, all anyone at the Quest Diagnostic Training Center could hear was Skattebo's trademark call. "Wooooooooooooooo!" the rookie shrieked as he ran onto the field. This is Cam Skattebo, the energetic and unique Giants fourth-round pick who never seems to talk with an inside voice and used to run into telephone poles as a young child. He sprints onto the field with the enthusiasm of a 10-year-old given carte blanche in a candy store."
""It's a daily thing," Daboll said as this all unfolded several weeks back. Skattebo still wasn't done. "Wooooooooooooooo!" he yelled again moments later. "Let's f---ing go!" he added. This is the type of energy Skattebo brings to the team, both in the building and on the field. Skattebo and rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart have added a new element to the Giants."
Rookie running back Cam Skattebo injects relentless, boisterous energy into the New York Giants' facility and game-day routines. He interrupts a Friday press conference by walking behind reporters, delivering a sarcastic wave and prompting coach Brian Daboll to lose his train of thought. Skattebo's trademark shriek—"Wooooooooooooooo!"—echoes across the Quest Diagnostic Training Center as he sprints onto the field with childlike enthusiasm. The fourth-round pick never speaks in an inside voice and carries a playful backstory of once running into telephone poles as a child. Skattebo's exuberance, paired with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, has added a new spark to the team's atmosphere.
