Fan favorite Giants rookie might just carry more weight than expected

If it weren't for a nagging hamstring injury, hype would probably be off the charts for New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo. Since he's arrived in East Rutherford, he's done and said all the right things and has instantly become a fan favorite. It's not hard to see why.

New York needs a back who isn't afraid to play bully ball, and Skatt brings that and then some. He's so much more than just a bruiser, so put him in a box at your own peril. During his last season at Arizona State, the Heisman finalist ended his season with 2,316 scrimmage yards and 24 total touchdowns.
