Chris Snee, one of the most decorated players in recent Giants history, returned to the organization this year as a senior scout. Snee – a two-time Super Bowl winner, four-time Pro Bowler, and a member of the franchise's Ring of Honor - is involved in both college and pro scouting.
He spent the 2022-23 seasons at Boston College, his alma mater, in what he said was a "developmental role for guys that are up there, but also kind of be the eyes on the high school evaluation."
Snee, who retired as a player prior to the 2014 season, began his post-playing career in 2017 as a scout for the Jacksonville Jaguars, first exclusively evaluating college players before adding the pros, focusing on offensive linemen. He joined the Jaguars when Tom Coughlin – the Giants' head coach his entire career – joined the team as an executive vice president of football operations. Snee is Coughlin's son-in-law.
Snee was the Giants' second-round draft choice in 2004, the same day they acquired Eli Manning in a first-round trade. He was a stalwart on the teams that won Super Bowls XLII and XLVI. In addition to his Pro Bowls, Snee was a first-team all-pro in 2008 and a second teamer in 2009 and 2010.
He started all 141 regular-season games and 11 postseason games in which he played at right guard. Snee missed only 19 games in his 10 seasons, including 13 in 2013, his last year in uniform.
For most of the following offseason, Snee believed he would return to the field. But as the Giants progressed in their spring work, it became evident to Snee that his surgically repaired hips and balky elbow made that impossible. He announced his retirement on July 21, 2014.
Snee and his wife, Kate, live in Bergen County, N.J. with their four children.
