Assistant Director of Personnel
"Joe Sulaitis brings to his role of Assistant Director of Personnel a broad football background that includes playing, scouting and coaching.
As a player with the Giants from 1943-45 and again from 1947-53, Joe earned a reputation as one of the most versatile men ever to play the game. He was, at various times, a wingback, end, quarterback (blocking back in the A formation) and guard on offense, while on defense he played defensive end, linebacker and defensive back. At any position, he was known as a tough, aggressive 60-minute football player. After his first three-year stint with the Giants, Joe played one year with the Boston Yanks (1946). He returned to the Giants in 1947 and put in seven more productive seasons before retiring in 1953.
Sulaitis' coaching experience included one year (1943) as head coach of North Arlington (New Jersey) High School and two years (1947-48) as backfield coach at Wagner College under Jim Lee Howell, who later became head coach of the Giants and who is now Joe's immediate superior in the club's scouting division. Sulaitis was in private business from 1953 until 1966, when he rejoined his old ball club as an area scout."
