Skat runs low. You have to run low. You have to run low to protect the football. You have to run low to protect your body... He's leading with his shoulder, that's what he's trying to do. He's trying to keep his head in a good, strong upright position. His pads are down there low. He runs low to the ground. That's a good thing. That's football. That's the way you're supposed to run.

Skattebo's low-pad running style drew an unnecessary roughness flag despite being fundamental technique.

Skattebo runs with a low pad level and lowered helmet technique to protect the football and his body, a fundamental ball-carrier approach taught since youth football; during a game against Houston, he executed this technique on a 7-yard gain at the second level but was flagged for unnecessary roughness for lowering the crown of his helmet into Texans safety M.J. Stewart, drawing criticism from head coach John Harbaugh who argued this is the proper way to run and that Skattebo leads with his shoulder while keeping his head in a strong upright position.
