Good to Snee You! Giants Blocking Legend
Returns to New York as Scout
Chris Snee, a legend of the team, has returned to the New York Giants in a new capacity.
With one of their most recent scouting acquisitions, the New York Giants are taking a trip back in time. Chris Snee, a legendary blocking player for the franchise, was promoted a senior scout in the personnel department this week and spoke to the media for the first time since donning blue again on Friday. For the first time since the 2020 draft, Snee, 42, is back in the NFL. He spent four years working as a scout for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Despite having worn Jaguars apparel while scouting down there for four years, I’m a Giant and always have been,” Snee remarked. “My heart has always been here, as everyone is aware. I’m going to come in and work my tail off because this is where I want to be and where I feel like I belong.
The son-in-law of former New York head coach Tom Coughlin, Snee played for the Giants for his entire ten-year NFL career (2004–2013), participating in the team’s final two Super Bowl appearances. The 2004 second-round selection was invited to four Pro Bowls and, in 2015, was inducted into the Giants Ring of Honor, earning him blue immortality.
It took Snee a few years to return to New York. He contacted Joe Schoen, general manager of the Giants, after leaving Jacksonville, but he committed to a “developmental role” at Boston College for the final two years. Snee, who was also eager to remain near his family and house, recommenced the process by texting Schoen to see if there were any openings. Snee and the Giants believe the rest is history.
“I didn’t want to be (at BC) for a few months and leave, so I stayed there for a couple of years and tried to help up there,” Snee recalled. It was early March, I believe. After I texted Joe, things kind of took off.

Without the game, I figured I could kind of survive. I can’t, but other guys can,” Snee remarked. “I have prioritized my family, which I have done, but they are now older, and I coached them during their childhood sports years. I would not go back and change a thing, even though it most likely cost me job possibilities.” “I adore every aspect of it. Thus, even during the years I wasn’t affiliated with any group, I continued to coach young athletes or assist with high school athletics in the community.
