Jeanna Kelley has been covering the Falcons for The Falcoholic since 2011 and the NFL for SB Nation since 2015.

The New York Giants rookie sensations, quarterback Jaxson Dart and running back Cam Skattebo, and their friendship was one of the most fun stories of the 2025 season. Dart and Skattebo took the time to talk with SB Nation about their friendship, their first impressions of John Harbaugh, and more on Radio Row in San Francisco leading up to Super Bowl 60.

It’s not something fans tend to think much about, but every rookie’s first season in the NFL is a grind, in large part because there is no break between their final college season and the end of their rookie NFL season. Bowl season, Combine and draft prep, pro days, and then minicamps and setting into their NFL homes is a whirlwind, and they really can’t catch their breath until their rookie season ends.

That doesn’t mean Skattebo and Dart were happy for the break.

“You never want to finish a season early,” Dart said. “It’s honestly been a struggle a little bit to watch the playoffs and us not be a part of it. But I think that’s just a driving force to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

The duo also shared their first impressions of John Harbaugh, what it meant to them to go through their first NFL season together, and much more. Dart and Skattebo spoke to us on behalf of Bounty paper towels, because you can’t have football without wings, and you can’t have wings without Bounty. Bounty paper towels came in clutch for Skattebo, who spent most of our chat trying to get wing sauce out of his shorts. Cam Skattebo — he’s just like us!

Many thanks to Dart, Skattebo, and Bounty for the time.
