Former New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese will participate in the third annual Quarterback Coaching Summit, a joint venture between the NFL and the Black College Football Hall of Fame, which will be held virtually from June 22-23.
The NFL describes the event as follows:
The Quarterback Coaching Summit is one of several NFL programs intended to build the coaching and personnel development pipeline and strengthen diversity across the league. In its third year, the program will feature sessions and panels led by NFL owners, current and former NFL coaches, and college football coaches.
Reese will be a presenter at one of the sessions which will include “building a coaching staff, quarterback position fundamentals, and other best practices for career advancement.”
Reese was the Giants general manager from 2007-2017, overseeing the franchise during two Super Bowl runs in 2007 and 2011. He was responsible for drafting many of the team’s iconic stars such as Jason Pierre-Paul, Odell Beckham Jr. and Hakeem Nicks, but his tenure as GM will be remembered by many of the his draft failures and the team’s nosedive in the standings over his final five seasons. He was replaced by Dave Gettleman in December of 2017.
Also expected to present at the summit are Pittsburgh Steelers president and NFL Workplace Diversity Committee chair Art Rooney II, Buffalo Bills president Kim Pegula, Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich, San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh and Buffalo Bills assistant head coach and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier.
