New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo says he plans to re-evaluate his signature backflip celebration after a viral video showed a failed attempt. According to Yahoo Sports and Newsweek, Skattebo has expressed that he will be more cautious about doing the move going forward. The change comes in the offseason amid renewed attention on the celebration, including discussion tied to an event at Fanatics Fest and the wider circulation of the clip online.
While both outlets frame the decision as a response to the backlash or embarrassment from the unsuccessful flip, neither source indicates that Skattebo intends to remove the celebration entirely. Instead, he says he is cutting down on backflips and is likely to assess when and if he can perform it successfully. The reports portray Skattebo as someone who enjoys the stunt and has used it for show, but now views it as something that may need adjustment based on execution and context.
