‘Late’ Giants star Cam Skattebo caught pleading to be let in as he’s forced to identify himself in parking lot
Second-year New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo was in uniform against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night just 2.5 hours after fighting through New Jersey traffic into the MetLife Stadium parking lot.
The 24-year-old bruiser arrived at 5:50 for the 8:20 kickoff, TMZ reported alongside a photo of Skattebo impatiently hanging out the driver’s window of his massive Ford F350.
‘Let me in!’ Skattebo was reportedly heard saying. ‘I’m the running back!’
The MetLife Stadium parking lot can quickly turn into a traffic nightmare as much as four hours before kickoff, and typically, players are expected to arrive at least four hours before kickoff.
It’s unclear if Skattebo broke any team rules. The Daily Mail has reached out to a Giants spokesman for comment.
When he did finally arrive, Skattebo made a grand entrance in his quarterback’s replica high school jersey. As pictured on the Giants’ social media accounts, Skattebo strolled in with Jaxson Dart’s No. 2 from Corner Canyon School in Utah atop a colorful pair of jean shorts.

Although he’d been warned by new Giants coach John Harbaugh against backflipping on his surgically repaired ankle, Skattebo did exactly that to celebrate his first TD of the year
Skattebo further ingratiated himself to Giants fans with a first-quarter touchdown run, going untouched into the end zone on a five-yard scamper.
And although he’d been warned by new Giants coach John Harbaugh against backflipping on his surgically repaired ankle, Skattebo did exactly that to punctuate his first touchdown of the season.
‘His ankle would’ve been cooked again had he landed on that pylon smh,’ one fan wrote on X, referring to the injury that ended Skattebo’s rookie campaign. ‘Bro’s gotta chill.’
The real star of Skattebo’s first touchdown of the season may have been new Giants fullback Patrick Ricard, the 300-pound blocker who followed Harbaugh from the Baltimore Ravens to East Rutherford, New Jersey this season.
Ricard began the play lined up on the right side of the line before shifting left and obliterating Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, who was knocked back into the end zone.
‘Patrick Ricard clearing the way all the way down the field,’ read an X post from The Giants Report. ‘Saying he’s going to be a big part of the offense seems to be an understatement! Skatt walks in untouched!’
