Cam Skattebo doesn’t appear to know ball very well.
The New York Giants rookie could not identify one of the best wide receivers in National Football League history when shown his photograph.
Appearing on the latest episode of the “St. Brown Bros.” podcast, the former Arizona State Sun Devils running back shared his journey transferring from Sacramento State to where he is now.
Star wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown likes to test out what rookie players know about the league. On his popular podcast, he plays a game in which a young player is shown a picture of a well-known player.
In the segment, Skattebo is shown pictures of former NFL stars and asked to identify them. What follows is a string of hilarious whiffs that leave both the hosts and fans stunned.
“YOU DON’T KNOW BALL,” flashed across the screen as Cam Skattebo looked at the images.

Among the players he couldn’t identify were Calvin Johnson, Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre, longtime Saints standout Marques Colston, Seattle’s Kam Chancellor, and dual-threat back Darren Sproles.
“Players don’t even watch the ones that came before them anymore,” one fan said about his lack of knowledge.

“This is what it’s lead to. No one truly is a “student of the game” anymore. They don’t know anyone further back than the past 10 years,” a fourth person added.

“Helmets hide NFL players identity. It’s why players would rip off the helmets back in the day during celebrations,” a fifth person commented.
