Assistant Director of Pro Personnel
"Perhaps the greatest safetyman ever to play professional football, Em is now in his 24th year with the Giants ... initially as a player, then as a scout, assistant coach and now as Assistant Director of Pro Personnel.
Tunnell played 11 seasons with the Giants (1948-58), three more with the Packers (1959-61) and during his brilliant career set four NFL records which still stand- most career interceptions (79), most punt returns (258) and most yardage on both interception and punt returns. Tunnell's exploits were such that he is now a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and was named to the first team 50th anniversary all-time All-NFL team.
Em became a Giant originally after walking into the club front office and asking for a tryout after a college career at Iowa and service in the Navy. The rest is history. He became a perennial All-Pro and was named to the Pro Bowl seven straight seasons.
A Giant scout in 1962-64, Em became an assistant coach in 1965 and served in that capacity through this past year when he was named to his new position. Born in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, he still makes his home in Philadelphia."
