Following an inspiring performance from Arizona State Sun Devils‘ running back Cam Skattebo against Texas in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl, Arizona Cardinals fans — and Sun Devils coach Kenny Dillingham — are urging the franchise to draft the Phoenix heartthrob in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Skattebo, a near-Heisman finalist, garnered national media attention in his gritty performance in ASU’s 39-31 double-overtime loss to the Longhorns on Wednesday. The senior running back put up a staggering two rushing touchdowns on 143 rushing yards, 99 receiving yards and even threw for a 42-yard touchdown.
Following the loss, Dillingham pleaded to the Cardinals to draft Skattebo so he can stay in the Valley.
“Now if the Arizona Cardinals can just draft Cam, so we can keep him home, that would be awesome,” Dillingham said in the postgame presser.
Not only did Skattebo prove that he is a big-game performer, but he put together a Heisman-level season that showed NFL scouts he was worthy of a draft pick. And Cardinals fans think it should be Arizona’s draft pick.
Here’s what they are saying on social media:

I have no problem with Cam Skattebo going to the Cardinals. We have to find ways to win the numerous, close games. #scattabo #juggernaut

If the Arizona Cardinals don’t draft Cam Skattebo we should boycott the 2026 season.

If the Cardinals can use a third round pick on a TE3, they can splurge on Cam Skattebo. pic.twitter.com/7MWiqIV64A

I know the cardinals need to focus on other areas but I would be so fun for Skattebo and James Connor to be on the same team.

I want Cam Skattebo on the Cardinals, even if we don’t need a running back.
