For those anxiously awaiting Arizona State Sun Devils running back Cam Skattebo’s 40-yard dash at the NFL Draft Combine, brace yourselves.

He told reporters Friday that he will be skipping most all drills this week. He will only be participating in the vertical and broad jumps.

The running back added he intends to do a full workout at Arizona State’s pro day.

The Big 12 Pro Day, which runs from March 18-21, could be another avenue for the running back when it comes to on-the-field work this NFL Draft cycle. Skattebo is among the 200-plus athletes expected to attend.

The Sun Devil is coming off his best season at Arizona State, racking up 1,711 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns on 293 carries. He added another 605 yards and three scores on 45 catches and threw a 42-yard touchdown pass in ASU’s Peach Bowl loss to Texas.

Skattebo’s draft stock varies depending on the analyst or site. ESPN has him as its fifth-ranked running back prospect, while Pro Football Focus sees him as the third best. No matter the pre-draft rankings, the violent runner’s tendencies haven’t been lost on NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah, who views the Sun Devil as a “shrunk-down James Conner.”

“I’m physical. People don’t think I’m as fast as I am, which I am fast. Punish the defender because they don’t want to do it for four quarters,” Skattebo told reporters.

“My objective at the end of the day is to get to the end zone. Being able to do that the way I do it, it works, so I’m going to continue to do it until it doesn’t work and then figure out how to make something work.”

Which teams has ASU’s Cam Skattebo met with at NFL Draft Combine?

Among the teams the running back has met with this week include the Denver Broncos and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (informal).

The Buccaneers know a thing or two about Sun Devil running backs, with Rachaad White currently on the roster.

After rushing for 1,006 yards and 15 touchdowns for the Sun Devils in 2021, White was taken with the No. 91 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
