Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. could make “thunder and lightning.”<\/p>\n
From the moment the Giants drafted Cam Skattebo, people started talking about the one-two punch he could make with Tyrone Tracy Jr. A reporter asked today if they could be “thunder and lightning.” Everyone knows which Skattebo would be.<\/p>\n
“I mean, he’s a really fast running back and there’s nothing about his game that you can take away from,” Skattebo said of Tracy. “He might be a little faster than me, so if you want to call it thunder and lightning, go ahead. But it’s a running back field no matter how it goes. Whatever our roles are, if he plays the whole time and I play not at all, I’m just going to be here and I’m going to work, put my head down and keep going.”<\/p>\n
And you better get out of his way.<\/p>\n
“It feels good when you run somebody over and then get in the end zone,” Skattebo said. “I mean it feels good when you get in the end zone, but imagine running someone over and then running another person over and then getting in the end zone. It’s that much better (laughs). So, it just shows that when you’re physical, it shows the work you put in in the weight room and how much you do to make your game better.”<\/p>\n
At the same time, Skattebo knows he hasn’t accomplished anything yet.<\/p>\n
“How many snaps of the NFL have you seen me play? Zero, right? I’ve proved nothing,” he said. “I’ve proved what I am in college, but I’ve proved nothing at this level. So now where I’m at, I have to prove myself and if that’s for five years or if that’s for 10 years, I’m going to continue to prove myself. I’m the best, do it for the longest, so continue to do that and just work my butt off until time comes.”<\/p>\n
Strahan broke down the huddle to end practice.<\/p>\n
Careers begin at rookie minicamp, and not many people have turned that opportunity into more than Michael Strahan. The Hall of Fame defensive end, who started off as a second-round pick from Texas Southern in 1993, spoke to the rookies in the post-practice huddle at midfield.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. could make “thunder and lightning.” From the moment the Giants drafted Cam…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39902,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[13295,7,347,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-39901","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-2025-rookie-minicamp","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-homepage","11":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114485463965375614","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39901","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39901"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39901\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39902"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39901"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
