New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is going to take years off of fans’ lives.
The second-year running back out of Arizona State had a great rookie season that was unfortunately cut short due to injury.
He’s on the mend, but if he keeps doing stuff like he did at Fanatics Fest on Saturday, he may wind up back on IR.

Skattebo made an appearance at WWE’s Fanatics Fest activation, where fans could recreate the entrances of their favorite wrestlers.
Skattebo chose Triple H and walked out to his Motörhead entrance music, “The Game.”
But instead of blasting a mouthful of Dasani like Old Faithful, as Triple H used to do, Skattebo decided to make the celebration his own.
He pointed to his bum leg and then decided to do something that put every Giants fan’s heart in their throat: a backflip.
All Giants fans watching probably yelped like a small dog when they saw the way Skattebo’s surgically repaired right leg twisted on the landing.
He needs that. It’s one of his runnin’ legs.

While I have no clue if it was before or after Skattebo suffered the biggest backflip botch since a Savannah Bananas player went on CNN, he booted a nice field goal with his left foot at some point in the day.
Skattebo is quite the, uh, character, and it’s hilarious to imagine the conversations the Giants are probably having with him.
No NFL front office thinks they have to tell a player, “Hey, quick reminder: you suffered a very serious leg injury about nine months ago. It’s probably not a good idea to do backflips while walking out to Triple H’s music. You should probably have known that, but consider this a reminder.”
But, hey, Cam Skattebo is just built different.
