NFL Draft: Underdog No More
Despite his remarkable college career, Cam’s draft prospects initially raised skepticism. His durability concerns and raw speed led many to overlook him. An AFC executive praised his toughness, saying, “He’s really built different.” His ability to see the field like a linebacker, break tackles, and make decisive runs stood out as his main attributes.
Drafted 105th overall by the New York Giants, Cam had to prove himself all over again. The early comments from some fans critiqued aspects like vision, but his relentless playing style and tackle-breaking ability quickly established him as a formidable NFL rookie. He made an immediate impact, assuming the starting role following an injury to teammate Tyrone Tracy.
