The Giants have always found a way to incorporate those former players looking to jumpstart a post-football career. Former fullback Charles Way was their Director of Player Engagement, a role later taken on by Super Bowl XLII hero David Tyree, who held the role until last year.
The team has also hired former players as interns, including former cornerback Kevin Dockery, former fullback Henry Hynoski, and former defensive tackle Jay Alford.

Below, Pioli journeys back his early scouting days, when a sleepy trip to South Carolina State unearthed a 10-year NFL starter, thanks to the persistence of the late, great Orlando Zeus Brown.
