Cam Skattebo Reacts to Giants Not Trading for RB After Jonathan Taylor Rumors at NFL Deadline

Cam Skattebo remained confident in himself after the New York Giants chose not to add another running back before Tuesday's trade deadline.

"You've seen what I can do," Skattebo said Tuesday, per Darryl Slater of NJ.com (h/t Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk). "When I come out and I'm ready to play football, I can be one of the most dangerous backs in the league. Simple as that."

On Friday, Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reported that the Giants were a "serious suitor" for Indianapolis Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor.

Two days later, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported that New York offered a second-round pick and a fifth-round selection for Taylor before pulling the offer.

Giants head coach John Harbaugh discussed the reported negotiations on Sunday.

"I'm not saying that report's not true. Those conversations are taking place," Harbaugh said, per ESPN's Jordan Raanan. "If something happens for any player, can't talk about any [specific] player because they're with other teams right now, but we're not ruling anything out."

Discussions between New York and Indianapolis appeared to break down, as Raanan reported Monday that "it would be a surprise at this point if Jonathan Taylor is traded to the Giants."

Skattebo has appeared in seven games during his second year in New York, although he missed the team's Week 9 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles due to a hamstring injury.

The 24-year-old has rushed for 418 yards and two touchdowns this season, averaging 4.3 yards per carry. He's also caught 11 passes for 76 yards.

The Giants currently sit atop the NFC East standings with a 5-2-1 record as they look to end a three-year playoff drought.
