There were a lot of things that the New York Giants fanbase was looking forward to during the first episode of Hard Knocks on Tuesday night on HBO. It was a special offseason edition. There were a lot of storylines that were being put into place for this series.
One of the main questions for the Hard Knocks episodes was what happened behind the scenes that led to the departure of Saquon Barkley. The New York Giants discussed on the first episode on Tuesday night who the potential replacements for Barkley were this offseason.
Devin Singletary, Joe Mixon, and D’Andre Swift were some of the running backs on this list. The New York Giants also considered adding some other players to the roster for the 2024 season. There will be four more episodes of this.
New York Giants Fans Fell In Love With Director of Pro Scouting Chris Rossetti During the First Episode Of Hard Knocks On Tuesday Night
Giants fans already knew about general manager Joe Schoen, assistant general manager Brandon Brown, and owner John Mara heading into Tuesday night. What New York Giants fans did not know enough about is Director of Pro Scouting Chris Rossetti on Tuesday night.
He had a lot of say in what the New York Giants do during the offseason. On the Giants.com website, his biography says:
“Chris Rossetti is in his second season as the Giants’ director of pro scouting. In this role, Rossetti works closely with general manager Joe Schoen, assistant general manager Brandon Brown, and director of player personnel Tim McDonnell to continually upgrade the roster through free agent acquisitions, trades, waiver claims and practice squad signings. He aids coach Brian Daboll and the coaching staff for each game’s opponents by creating advance scouting reports during the season.”
There were a lot of New York Giants fans who loved with the way he stole the show. Rossetti had a lot of input during the meetings with the rest of the front office. This is what some of the New York Giants fans had to say about him on Twitter:
Chris Rossetti was my favorite part of the show, very well knowledge on players & their strengths. Seems like a future is bright for him.

The Chris Rossetti point is KEY it was obvious he KNEW someone was gonna throw a bag as Saquon and it felt like he was telling Joe “make an offer because he’s gonna get one from a team we don’t like” he even mentioned Philly TWICE in the episode. This is a bad look for Joe.

Watched it again today. The convo between Joe Schoen and Chris Rossetti in Shoen’s office is really interesting. Schoen’s body language says it all. He was not happy that Rossetti pushed back on the Saquan Barkley market value.

Some fans think that Chris Rossetti could be a future general manager for a different NFL team when the time comes. Brandon Brown received general manager interviews last offseason and New York Giants fans were preparing for him to leave Joe Schoen. One of the teams that interviewed Brown was the Los Angeles Chargers.
The New York Giants will have another season with Rossetti, Brown, and Schoen in the front office. Chris Rossetti’s stardom will continue to rise throughout the Hard Knocks off-season edition episodes.
