However, Skattebo is receiving some backlash from the podcast appearance based on his outlandish take regarding the severe head injury. The Giants running back called CTE an “excuse” before Skattebo and the host put asthma into the same category.

Skattebo proved to be an electric addition to the Giants offense in 2025 alongside fellow rookie Jaxson Dart. However, his debut season ended after suffering a severe ankle injury against the Philadelphia Eagles in October.

It’s clear that the young running back certainly has a bright future in the league, but the Giants might want to coach him up on his off-field interactions before doing another podcast.

CTE has proven to be a very sensitive topic for NFL players over the years, especially after former players like Aaron Hernandez and Junior Seau were diagnosed following their deaths.

Meanwhile, a Boston University study revealed that nearly 92 percent of former NFL players’ brains tested found signs of CTE. The famous research included tests on Demaryius Thomas, Chris Henry and other ex-professional athletes.
