Cam Skattebo emerges as frontrunner for Giants' RB1 role at training camp
Summary

Cam Skattebo appears to have established himself as the top running back for the New York Giants during early training camp sessions. After the first week of practice, beat writer Connor Hughes indicated that Skattebo is receiving the majority of carries and consistently leads in drills. This marked a shift from last season's more balanced distribution among Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy, and Devin Singletary. While Skattebo is favored for first-and-second down work, questions remain about his role on third downs, where Tracy and Singletary may share responsibilities. The Giants could still seek additional depth at the position as they were linked to several veteran backs earlier this offseason.
