The New York Giants have hired Sam Rosengarten as their new director of high performance, according to a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN. Rosengarten joins the organization after a lengthy and successful tenure with the Baltimore Ravens.
Rosengarten served in the same capacity for the Ravens for the last nine seasons, where he was a key figure in the team's sports science and player health departments. His move to New York marks a significant addition to the Giants' support staff as they continue to modernize their approach to player wellness and physical conditioning under the leadership of general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll.
The director of high performance role is vital in the modern NFL, focusing on the intersection of data, strength training, and recovery to ensure players remain at peak physical condition throughout the grueling 17-game season. Rosengarten's extensive experience with a perennially competitive Ravens franchise is expected to bring a high level of expertise to the Giants' facility in East Rutherford.
The hiring comes as NFL teams increasingly prioritize specialized roles in their front offices to manage the physical demands placed on athletes. Rosengarten is expected to begin his new role immediately as the Giants prepare for their upcoming offseason programs and the 2024 NFL Draft.
