You can never actually lose a homing pigeon - if your homing pigeon does not return, what you've lost is a pigeon

He's gonna make one hell of a checkdown.

And hands.  He is a natural catcher of football.  That route and catch against Texas (it's on the YouTube video that bighitterdalama posted on 1st page) was a thing of beauty that most RBs can't do or make

I don't want to be too hyperbolic, but this young man has always reminded me of Tiki Barber; he moves like he's on skis.  To be clear, he doesn't have Tiki's twitch, but I see similarities.

He reminded me of Joe Morris, the short, squat back you just couldn't bring down

The way he takes hits reminds me of Jacobs... Although this dude is certainly a lot smaller, but he's a tough boy.

Guess the 🐈 is out of the bag now.

Soon, the "Legend of Cam Skattebo" will be front and center on every NY Metropolitan area news website.

We've adored him here in Phoenix. He is exactly what the Giants need right now to lift the attitude and spirit of the offense.

Inspirational.

Ed: Also, once he learns who to block, he'll be a very good pass protector. Bob
If Jeff Hostetler could do it, Daniel Jones can do it !!!

He was pounding telephone poles at the age of six. He loves contact.

Friend of mine whose opinion I value said, "If Dave Meggett and Mark Bavaro had a baby."  Worries about his body holding up long term as he has had a lot of touches in college.  He will bust people's ass.  An attitude guy who can change a culture.

I was thinking the same thing. The biggest hold back for RBs in pass protection, is they don't particularly like getting physical, and mostly get in the way like a nuisance. I think Skattebo will probably try to hurt a LB or S trying to get to our QB. I have to believe he'll be great at it
