Gerhart I believe.

Yeah just a typo here whoops. But that is the obvious worry right? Combine will be huge for Cam.

The kid has receiving skills so he is not just a hammer...I think he can be a nice piece of an RBBC...on a side-note I used the Google-machine yesterday to find out why he shakes his head a good amount of the time and found this:

Why does Cam Skattebo shake his head? The simple reason behind 'OCD' in-game habit | Sporting News
Fans noticed Arizona State RB Cam Skattebo shaking his head before snaps, and he has a simple reason for doing it.

What a performance from this kid. Puking on the sideline and putting his squad on his back. Clearly a “football player” that many teams would love to add to their backfield. Not sure he has the burst and wiggle to lead a backfield, but clearly a guy who can be in the rotation and contribute.

Hate to use the "white RB" comparison but he could be a better Rex Burkhead who was a solid player when healthy for the Pats.

Looks like a better pro prospect than Estime IMO.

Yeah, I resisted to do the same but just natural to navigate to that. Rex is probably a decent comp when it comes down to it though. It would be different if Skattebo was a 4.4 guy, but that is not his game. Either way I think he has a lot to offer at the next level, like most non-elite players the success will depend on situation and opportunity.

This is who I thought of. He's better than Steele, but can't see him dominating a backfield in the NFL.

Are we just naming white RBs? Peyton Hillis!

With the exception of McCaffrey…
He reminds me of Guard Dunham.

For diversity purposes…a slower Zamir White…with Dylan Laube’s receiving chops. So basically if Zamir and Dylan had a baby…a very Raider comparison…so I suspect they will draft him

Agree, incredible performance. He is able to bully college kids but I fear at 215 he will not have the same success with that style in the NFL. He is diverse enough in the pass game to be an addition to the backfield, but I don’t see enough additional traits to think he can lead the group at the next level. Will be rooting for him though, kid is a true football player with a lot of heart.

I read that he is a senior. How much of him being much older than his peers factor into his punishing style of play against 18 & 189 year olds?

Not sure how his game will translate to the NFL, but this dude was fun to watch even before the Texas game, and is someone who is easy to root for.
He might run a 4.6/40 which will have scouts passing, but his contact balance is off the charts, and he's much more athletic than one might think.

It seems like it is impossible to scout/predict what running backs are going to be/do in the NFL. Coming out of the draft guys like Bijan and Breece looked like can't miss fantasy studs. Then they end up being eclipsed by non-descript guys like Kyren Williams, Chase Brown, and Chuba Hubbard. Seems like WR and QB are easier to gage, IMHO.

Team, scheme and coaches matter. Put Breece or Bijan on the Rams and they would be in the MVP conversation.

Got a little bit of Mike Alstott in him huh?
Could be a real Craig James and Larry Csonka hybrid.
Added a couple whites because John Riggins told me to.

I agree but I don't.
Kyren was a must draft before drafts even started. Fear of him losing his job to Corum was the only thing pushing him down fantasy draft boards.
Chase Brown had to fight of Zack Moss and that pushed him down. He wasn't even the starter to begin the season.
Chuba Hubbard is an outlier. Seemed like Brooks would take his job once healthy...
Breece Hall and Bijan were both hampered by poor QB play. The answer is and continues to be... draft an RB on a strong offense.
Saquon should have been at the top. Henry should have been there too. Everyone tries to get cute and avoid the cliff on these older RBs but Barkley has never been on a team as good as the one he is on now.

I'm a little confused. Are you talking about overall career path? Or this season? I would say Kyren Williams has been a little better than Bijan overall, but not Brown or Hubbard. Or if this refers to this year, they were all very good, but none of them was as productive as Bijan. And Breece Hall has averaged 90 YFS/game over his career so far, and is still fairly young.
Situation and opportunity matters a lot. Bijan didn’t even have a poor rookie season, but this year he has reminded everyone why he was the greatest prospect at the position since Saquon.
You have to be patient sometimes.
Players like Chase Brown that the team has zero draft capital invested in are also much more susceptible to being replaced in the draft. We’ve seen that story over and over.

But we have also seen the draft capital narrative fall flat on its face recently. Many people were fading Kyren and Chubba, for instances. Same can be said for age cliff narrative for RBs. Kamara, Connor and Henry are some examples from the season.

Like this comp a lot. A more aggressive and angry Rex Burkhead.

The obvious worry is typos?

Yes if we can’t spell his name right, how can we know for sure we’re drafting the right player? But actually the worry is he’s just not big big enough or athletic enough to play his style of ball at the pro level.

Derrick Henry ran a 4.55 at the combine 8 years ago. After 8 years of battering in the NFL he has to be slower and still was not caught from behind yesterday.
Not sure how Cams game will translate to the NFL but he should make a roster at the very least.
On another note he can`t be 5-11. Looks about 5-8 on the field.
Boston

He is one of those guys I feel you will know pretty early in camp whether his game translates to the NFL.

Sometimes that doesn’t even help.
My home redraft league still busts balls of the guy in our league who, for the 1st time in 15 or so years got 1.01, marched up the board all cocky & slapped up… the wrong Adrian Peterson sticker.
We gave him a mulligan, but he will never, ever live it down.
Ps - nothing worse for typos than Levis & Pennix.

Sorry Titans fans but I don’t think we will have to be worrying about spelling Will Levis name right for much longer.Sometimes that doesn’t even help.
