However, it was rookie running back Cam Skattebo’s comment that drew considerable attention, humorously lamenting, “Give back my boy [crying face emoji],” which has already accumulated over 34,000 likes.
Skattebo’s remark resonated widely, as it reflects a common experience many face when a close friend enters a romantic relationship. The sentiment was echoed across social media, with fans chiming in, acknowledging Skattebo’s feelings. One user quipped, “@sk4ttp4ck you’ll always be his number 1 [red heart emoji],” while others voiced their hopes that Ayers would treat Dart well and even suggested finding a friend for Skattebo to join in the fun.
Skattebo, who only met Dart just before the NFL draft, highlighted their blossoming friendship. He recounted how their connection quickly deepened, sharing that they often have a blast together outside of football. “We stay young. We keep having fun,” Skattebo said, emphasizing the importance of maintaining their bond even as their lives evolve.
