Mandatory Credit: Isaiah J. Downing-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p>Cam Skattebo\u2019s Year 1 stats<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Skattebo finished the 2025 campaign with 101 rushing attempts for 410 yards and five touchdowns. He added 24 receptions for 207 yards and two scores. The 24-year-old has undergone a long injury recovery, but he is expected to return to action early next season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If he regains his form from last year, the Giants could turn heads and bounce back strong. They missed the playoffs with a 4-13 record; however, they retooled their roster this offseason. The team added several veterans and drafted linebacker Arvell Reese at No. 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cam Skattebo made a lot of noise early last season.
