The Giants drafted Cam Skattebo last year, and he was off to a promising start. A major injury ended his season.

Walker’s addition could not only create more time for Skattebo to get healthy, but it would also create a strong backfield duo. Head coach John Harbaugh loves having a strong running game with multiple backs involved.
