Cardinals one of the favorites to draft ASU’s Cam Skattebo

Fanduel has Cardinals 6th in betting odds to draft Skattebo:

1. Dallas Cowboys: +900
2. Washington Commanders: +900
3. Las Vegas Raiders: +900
4. Chicago Bears: +900
5. Denver Broncos: +900
6. Arizona Cardinals: +1100

Cardinals had a Top 30 visit with Skattebo early in the draft process, and the ASU back mentioned that he had an unofficial visit with the team. During his senior campaign, Skattebo was top five in Heisman voting, leading the Sun Devils to the College Football playoffs and rushing for over 1,700 yards.

During the combine, scouts became skeptical of Skattebo, as he only participated in two drills. Despite being impressive in both drills, the 5’11 running back had questions surrounding his possible 40-yard dash time. Later, at ASU Pro Day, Skattebo ran a 4.65, which would rank him last for running backs at the NFL combine.

Despite the lackluster 40-yard-dash time, teams are intrigued with the raw ability and versatility Skattebo brings to the football field. The Cardinals had one of the best rushing attacks last year with James Conner, a similar halfback to Skattebo.

A reunion to keep a Skattebo in the Valley would make him an easy fan favorite on day one, and the Cardinals have an opportunity to do that with their 78th and 115 overall picks to draft the Sun Devil.
