Giants' Cam Skattebo addresses concerns about his backflip

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is trying to reassure fans who are worried about his health after his failed backflip on stage at Fanatics Fest.

Skattebo on Sunday addressed his viral backflip attempt while speaking on stage at the event in New York. 

He acknowledged the mixed reactions to his stunt and explained why he had looked so awkward doing it.

“I’m gonna address the elephant… I will not hurt myself before the season,” Skattebo said to applause. “Those floors are bouncy. When I took off, I was midair like, holy cow, I’m not going to land this, I’m way too high. Landed, but it had too much cushion. It wasn’t a stiff, firm ground. That’s why I went back, safely landed, got back up, good to go. I’m perfectly fine. Nothing happened.”
