New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart and running back Cam Skattebo have formed a tight bond since entering the NFL together last year. They have found a kindred spirit in each other, openly expressing their mutual admiration.
On Thursday, the Giants hosted the Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium. Skattebo got the Giants on the board in the second quarter with a one-yard rush.
Of course, he did his trademark backflip and followed it up with a tribute to Dart, mimicking the sophomore quarterback's signature celebration, as noted by USA Today's Art Stapleton.
The 23-year-old Dart saw his season come to a harrowing end in Week 2 after suffering a knee injury.
The 24-year-old Skattebo has helped lift Dart's spirits, underscoring their close friendship.
As of this writing, the Giants are trailing the Commanders in the third quarter.
More details to come.
