New York Giants and former ASU running back Cam Skattebo scored his first career NFL touchdown during the fourth quarter against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

After registering a 24-yard run from rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, the Ole Miss product’s own first NFL snap, Skattebo finished the drive off with a one-yard rushing touchdown to give the Giants a 23-20 lead.

Skattebo’s first touchdown occurred at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, the same place where he rushed for over 170 yards and scored three touchdowns against Iowa State in the Big 12 Championship Game last season.

Skattebo finished his day with 45 rushing yards and a touchdown while adding 14 yards on two catches in the Giants’ 40-37 overtime loss to the Cowboys.

Skattebo took a step forward in his second career game after registering just two runs for -3 rushing yards and 12 receiving yards on two catches last week against the Washington Commanders. He did break several tackles on his first NFL catch.

The Cardinals not drafting Skattebo is one of their dumbest moves (non-moves?) ever, and that's saying something.
Mark my words, Skattebo's going to be a hero in NY.

Cam's running style was definitely inspiring his teammates, just like it did for ASU. Cam is the darling of the Giants faithful and the City of NYC in general, which is a wonderful thing for a young man in his 20s to be.
