Cam Skattebo has only played eight games in the NFL, but he’s already operating on a different frequency than most NFL players.
The New York Giants running back is simultaneously building a streaming audience and flirting with a WWE career while putting up legitimate on-field stats.
And he’s balancing all of that while maintaining a strong romance with his influencer girlfriend, Chloe Rodriguez.
Their secret to making it work? Deceptively simple. And worth paying attention to if you’re watching how the next generation of athlete-entertainers is shaping up.
In an interview with People, published Feb. 10, the couple shared what keeps them steady while Skattebo’s public profile explodes.
“I mean, I had to get used to it, but it was different, but I’ve known that he’s been like this, so he’s been a superstar since I met him,” Rodriguez told the outlet.
Skattebo added that the key to their relationship is “not taking things too serious,” while Rodriguez stressed the importance of being “patient” with each other.
“Just living life,” Skattebo told People of their motto.
“It’s been awesome,” Skattebo added. “With everything that’s been coming my way, I’ve been taking it in and being able to navigate it in the right way and it’s been great.”
The two have been together since at least 2022, when both were attending Sacramento State, per People. Rodriguez was a member of the school’s cheerleading squad at the time.
That pre-fame foundation matters here: Rodriguez knew Skattebo before the draft hype, before the streaming numbers, before any of it.
Cam Skattebo’s On-Field Résumé Is Backing the Hype
Skattebo was drafted by the New York Giants in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft and wasted no time in making his mark.
He made a strong impression in training camp, carried that momentum into the regular season, and was leading the team in carries by Week 2.
The numbers from his abbreviated season tell a clear story. In his first eight games, Skattebo accumulated 410 rushing yards, 207 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, per ESPN.
That production was cut short when he suffered a season-ending dislocated ankle in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles, per the NFL. But the sample size was enough.
At the time of his injury, he ranked fourth in the NFL in points scored among offensive players and led all rookies in yards from scrimmage, per USA Today.
The Off-Field Play That’s Worth Watching
Known for his wild antics, backflips in the endzone and aggressive playing style, Skattebo became a bit of an online sensation after being drafted. He’s the kind of player who generates clips. And clips, in 2025, are currency.
And he’s bringing that same energy to his off-the-field life.
Not only is he already an active streamer, where his personality is on full display, but he’s also creating a lot of buzz in the WWE community.
In November, Skattebo sparked a staged brawl between several of his teammates and The Judgment Day members JD McDonagh, Dominik Mysterio, Finn Bálor, and others on Monday Night Raw.
But it wasn’t just a publicity stunt. Skattebo seems genuinely interested in a future with the company.
“There’s a chance. I mean, I feel like I’m a pretty good actor,” Skattebo said of a potential future in the WWE in an interview with TMZ on Feb. 8.
“There’s a chance there, there’s a chance on stream,” he added. “There’s a bunch of chances I feel like I can do something outside of football when I’m done playing, and I’m not too sure where I’m gonna go with that, but WWE is definitely an option.”
NFL player, streamer, potential WWE performer. Each of those requires a different audience, a different skill set, a different version of the same charisma. Skattebo is testing all of them simultaneously, following his rookie year, while recovering from a major injury.
Cam Skattebo’s Girlfriend Is By His Side
Rodriguez, for her part, has her own platform.
The former cheerleader has built a following on Instagram, where she regularly supports her boyfriend in his on-the-field and off-the-field life.
On April 26, she took to Instagram to celebrate her boyfriend’s NFL draft moment. “I love supporting you, keep making us proud. time to head back east, go @nygiants !” she wrote in the post.
More recently, on Dec. 24, Rodriguez posted photos of the couple at a Jonas Brothers concert — including a photo they took with Joe Jonas backstage.
“Partied like it was ‘09,” she wrote in the caption.
