The Post has been granted unprecedented access to the world of the Giants scouting department. In Part 8, the final entry in this series, the focus is on Chris Snee, a two-time Super Bowl winner, four-time Pro Bowler at right guard and a member of the team’s Ring of Honor. He started as a scout in 2017 with the Jaguars when Tom Coughlin returned to Jacksonville and then moved on to his alma mater, Boston College. Snee, 43, is in his second year as a Senior Scout with the Giants. He lives in Bergen County, N.J., with his wife Kate and four children.
GM Joe Schoen on Snee: “I got to know Chris, he actually coached my son in eighth grade two years ago. The first year, it didn’t feel right when I interviewed him and once I got to know him a little bit more, the timing was right a year ago to bring him on staff. We had him doing a lot of offensive linemen, pro and college, he’s traveling and seeing these guys play, helping us with interviews at all-star games. The guy knows football, so we’re expanding to other positions, not just pigeonholing him as an O-line guy only. It’s great to have a set of eyes and ears in the building that can sit in the O-line room, evaluate the O-line guys, get to know our guys and also help evaluate the future Giants.”
Q: You were a rookie along with Eli Manning in 2004. Now you’re here with Jaxson Dart, another Ole Miss quarterback. Any similarities?
A: Dart’s definitely a lot better-looking than Eli, I’ll start off by saying that. More athletic. I’ve been impressed with the kid. It’s not easy being a starting quarterback in New York, you need to be wired a certain way and I think he is. He’s a competitor, he’s tough, he’s smart, he prepares. I love to buzz by the meeting rooms to see who’s in, because that was always kind of what Tom [Coughlin] did when he was here, seeing who’s in the meeting rooms early, and late. He puts in the work, he’s got that maturity to him, he’s got the passion, he’s got what I’m talking about as far as hating to lose. I’m excited about him. The guys that did the deep dive on him deserve a lot of credit.
