Just six weeks into his professional soccer profession, Giants rookie Cam Skattebo is making a title for himself with his bruising, energetic operating type on the sector, mixed with an outsized persona.
And one notable sports activities determine can’t determine why he dropped into the fourth spherical of the NFL draft.

“Well, today’s rant is about the morons in entrance workplaces in the NFL, and people assume you could have to in some way have an official job to know ball — that’s unsuitable. Cam Skattebo, proper now, he is the discuss of the soccer world, not just school, professional — every thing. He’s on fire, everybody’s speaking about it.
“My question is this: How does a guy who is unbelievable in college, and he single-handedly almost beat Texas to send [Arizona State] to the championship? He was the best running back in the country. He slips to the fourth round. I am so sick.”
Skattebo put on a show in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals for the Sun Devils, operating for 143 yards and including 99 more on eight catches.

“We give people too much credit. I knew Cam Skattebo was a great player,” Portnoy said. “He loves soccer. He’s modified the tradition of that workforce. We sit back with these people who gather paychecks and just assume they know what they’re doing because they watch soccer. You know who watches more soccer than they do? Me with these two eyes. I watch every thing, every recreation, and I’m sick of people not believing.
“You go to the combine. ‘Oh, he’s got to run this, he’s gonna jump this.’ The guy is a winner, loves football, bangs his head into brick walls, start trusting people like me, Cam Skattebo. How did he ever get to the fourth round?”
