Skattebo also revealed that if he weren't playing football, then he'd be working in his dad's pest control company. Cam's dad, Leonard Skattebo, is a co-founder and operator at Trifecta Home Services NorCal.

Cam Skattebo had an impressive start to life in the NFL. The Arizona State product amassed a stat line of 101 carries, 410 rushing yards, and five rushing touchdowns before his rookie season-ending injury. He's currently in rehab and aiming for a return for the start of the 2026 campaign.

Cam Skattebo's New York Giants face a tough schedule to close season

The New York Giants are 2-9 to start the season. They fired head coach Brian Daboll after their Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears and are 0-1 under interim head coach Mike Kafka.

Cam Skattebo's side has a difficult rest of the campaign, as they look to finish the season on a positive note. Their next two games before a Week 14 bye are against the in-form Detroit Lions and red-hot New England Patriots.

After their bye is a game against the Washington Commanders, then one versus the playoffs chasing Minnesota Vikings. Both the Commanders and Vikings made the playoffs in 2024.

The Giants do have winnable games on paper against the struggling Las Vegas Raiders and Dallas Cowboys in Weeks 17 and 18, respectively. Both teams have an uphill battle to reach the playoffs and didn't qualify for the postseason in 2024.

The Giants have dealt with injuries to most of their standout offensive players in 2025. Their fans will hope for better luck for the rest of the campaign and in the 2026 season.
