Giants' Cam Skattebo could be the 'steal of the draft,' former NFL star says

New York Giants' Cam Skattebo could be the "steal of the draft," ex-NFL star Jake Plummer said during a recent appearance on OutKick's "The Ricky Cobb Show."

One-time NFL Pro-Bowler Jake Plummer had high praise for fellow Arizona State alumni and New York Giants fourth-round pick, running back Cam Skattebo. 

Arizona State made the College Football Playoff last season in large part due to Skattebo, and Plummer "can’t believe" how far the Sun Devils star fell in the NFL Draft. 

"I can’t believe he fell that far in the draft to be honest with you," Plummer said during a recent appearance on OutKick’s "The Ricky Cobb Show."

"Again, it’s the narrative, he’s not fast enough, he’s got too much wear and tear on his tread, and it’s just like, these pundits they start talking, and these words get out, and it can influence decisions, but he found himself in the right place. He found himself in a city that’s going to love what he puts down on that field. I mean he is a football player tried and true from start to finish. No matter what you do with him, he’s going to give it your all."

"Regardless of him being a Sun Devil or not, he can run the ball well, he can catch the ball well, and in this league you better know how to pass block, and he can pass block well also from that running back position, so I think the Giants got the steal of the draft," Plummer said.

Skattebo finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy
