NFL analyst gives Cam Skattebo a reality check amidst falling draft stock

Over the past few days, reports suggest that Cam Skattebo's draft stock has been declining. NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah came forward to share his thoughts about the situation.

On last Tuesday's episode of 'The Athletic Football Show,' Jeremiah shed light on what limits Skattebo as a top running back talent in the league.

"I think his life source is contact, like, it's air to him," Jeremiah said. "Most teams I talk to are not as high on him...They're just saying he has no juice. And it's not sustainable to run the way he runs long term, like he's not physically hold up running like that at the next level."

Cam Skattebo could end up becoming a late second-round to early third-round pick in the draft. ESPN's Jeff Legwold views him as the 98th-best prospect in the 2025 NFL draft.
