Scout
"Roosevelt Brown's appointment to the Giants' scouting staff in 1971 signaled the beginning of yet another era in his outstanding career with the New York ball club. From 1953 through 1965, Rosey ranked as one of the all-time great offensive linemen in the National Football League. He was a big, fast, wide-ranging tackle who earned All-Pro honors six times, was selected to play in the Pro Bowl on eight occasions, and in 1956 was voted Lineman of the Year in the NFL. When a phlebitis condition forced him to retire in 1966, Brown was immediately named assistant line coach by the Giants, a post he held until 1969 when he became head line coach, replacing Jim Trimble.
In 1971 Brown, along with another coaching aide, Ken Kavanaugh, left Alex Webster's staff to assume new responsibilities under Jim Lee Howell, his onetime coach, in the scouting department. Rosey, now 45, is a resident of Teaneck, New Jersey but spends a good deal of his time on the road in search of fresh talent for the Giants."
