Giants' Cam Skattebo admits doing 'dumb things,' will save backflips for TDs

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is taking a different approach to his offseason antics. After a botched backflip at a recent public appearance drew attention from team leadership, Skattebo confirmed he had conversations with coach John Harbaugh and general manager Joe Schoen about his choices.

Skattebo acknowledged he has made some questionable decisions lately but stated he is focused on learning from them. He plans to keep his trademark backflips off the field for the time being, especially as he works through his return to full health. He noted that he is feeling nearly back to full strength following an ankle injury he sustained last October.

Despite the distraction of his off-field behavior, Skattebo remains a major part of the team's plans. He has been taking first-team reps during training camp drills. The coaching staff is clearly invested in his recovery and his physical running style, which fits the team's intended approach to the season.

Moving forward, Skattebo says he intends to continue interacting with fans and maintaining his personality. However, he is setting clear boundaries on his stunts. The acrobatics are officially on hold until they can serve a purpose on the scoreboard during actual games.
