Chris Snee teams up with Montrose to host youth football clinic
The former New York Giants guard returns to his alma mater to help the football program where his career began.
MONTROSE, Pa. — About 80 kids showed up at Montrose Area High School to learn the ins and outs of football from the former Meteor, Chris Snee. Now an NFL scout, Snee spent his 10 year career with the New York Giants and is one of the most decorated players in Giants history, winning 2 Super bowls with the team and a 4 time Pro Bowler.
Snee says he wanted to give back to his alma mater to help build the football program at Montrose starting them young.
“You know, the priority with this was I wanted all the varsity kids to get to know the youth players and then the youth players to get to know the varsity kids, um, because I told them how I looked up the guys before me and we want to reestablish that relationship and just again, you know, have them be role models for the younger kids and I think that you’re seeing that today. Yeah, but it’s just been a lot of fun, a lot of smiles. It’s competitive, but it’s loose and fun, and I think it’s a great day for Montrose,” Snee said.
“He’s supportive of what we’re trying to do up here and have Chris you know come all the way from Boston means a whole lot and it’s just the first of many. We’re all learning and we’re going to get better as we do this thing, but so excited just to see the direction that this program is headed,” said Montrose head football coach George Petrak.
Chris Snee and the New York Giants organization also donated $15,000 to the Junior Meteors football program and the booster club.
Snee will also be participating in a charity golf tournament on Sunday at Tall Pines Players Club in Montrose.
