There has been a lot of talk about New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart changing his style of play to avoid getting injured in a game.
But it has been less so for running back Cam Skattebo, who enters his second season in the NFL after having his rookie year cut short when he suffered a gruesome ankle injury. Skattebo said on Wednesday that he has no plans to change his playing style either.

“It’s not going to change who I am,” he said on NFL Network’s “The Insiders.” “I had an injury, it is what it is. I’ve still got plenty of football left, plenty of life left. I’m not going to let this little ankle thing bother me.
“I’ll be back (to) running people over. It’ll be normal Cam Skattebo from here.”

Skattebo’s smashmouth style of play earned him praise from Giants fans in the 2025 season. If there was another bright spot outside of Dart’s emergence, it was Skattebo.
He had 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns as well as 24 catches for 207 yards and two receiving touchdowns in eight games for New York.
During his time on the sidelines, he received criticism for being mixed up with WWE star JD McDonagh during an episode of “Monday Night Raw”.

As time has passed, Skattebo is expected to be on the field and stay on the field to help the Giants return to greatness, well, at least in the 2026 playoffs.
