New York Giants headlines for Wednesday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
It’s now on Daboll to blend all these pieces together and make it work — especially on the defensive side. Pressure will also be on defensive coordinator Shane Bowen to find a way to get Carter, Burns and Thibodeaux on the field together. To make sure all of them put up numbers and get after the quarterback.
No way around it, that will be the identity of the Giants — their ability to rush the passer around those three players and Lawrence.
No. 105 New York Giants: HB Cam Skattebo, Arizona State (Big Board Rank: 51)
Skattebo was RB3 and the No. 51 overall player on the PFF Big Board, making this a strong value pick for the Giants at the top of the fourth round. He doesn’t have elite speed, but he excels in many areas that translate well to the NFL. Skattebo ranked above the 85th percentile in PFF rushing grade in both gap and zone schemes in 2024 and was the only running back besides Ashton Jeanty to force more than 100 missed tackles on the ground last season.
Skattebo used to watch WWE with his late grandfather, so in high school, teammates began referring to him as "Nature Boy," an homage to the 16-time world wrestling champion, Ric Flair. He embraced that so much, Skattebo would scream out Flair's trademark "Woo!" whenever he trucked a defender.
That happened so often, physicality became his calling card. It's the common thread in his game from the streets of his northern California hometown where he used to put on his other brother's helmet and shoulder pads and run into telephone poles and prove his toughness, to Sacramento State and then Arizona State, and now the New York Giants, who selected the star running back with the 105th pick of the fourth round in the 2025 NFL Draft.
3. Jaxson Dart, New York Giants Situation: He is the third quarterback on the depth chart behind veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, so it's hard to imagine that Dart will play much this year. That certainly could change late...
