Cam Skattebo set to bring contagious energy to Giants: ‘Gonna grind out every yard’

Leo Skattebo IV is Cam Skattebo’s Big Brother.

“He’s just violent. He’s always been a violent compeтιтor,” Leo IV told The Post by phone not long after Little Brother was drafted by the Giants in the fourth round. “When we were little kids, we would clear out the living room of furniture, ’cause my mom and dad both worked, so we’d be home together a lot. We’d push the couches out of the way, I’d get down on my knees ’cause I was significantly bigger than him, and he would be on his feet, and we would play full-blown indoor tackle football in our living room. There were times where we pushed big giant holes in the sheet rock of the wall. It didn’t matter what we were doing, if we were playing Wiffle ball or football in the living room, he’s just always been an ultra-compeтιтor. “

Cam is six years younger.

“When he was in the junior program at like 5, 6, 7 years old,” Leo IV recalled, “I just remember other teams and stuff would have a lot to say about how he played the game — parents being like, ‘Well he’s too violent. He doesn’t belong on the field.’ It’s always been that way. So from the moment he was 5 years old, other teams’ parents, they wanted nothing to do with him being on the field with their kids (laugh).”
