Chief Scout
"Former Giants defensive tackle Jerry Shay was named as Chief Scout this past year and as such had much to do with the 1977 collegiate draft. Jerry joined the Giants scouting department in 1972 and served as the club's scout in the Western States area, including the West Coast as well as Wyoming, Montana and the Dakotas.
Born in Gary, Indiana (family name Dzedzeji), the 33-year-old Shay was an All-American star at Purdue University and was the No. 1 draft choice of the Minnesota Vikings in 1966. He was a starting defensive tackle for the Vikes for two years, then was traded to the Atlanta Falcons in 1968 where he again started for two seasons before coming to the Giants in a trade in 1970. Jerry was a key performer that season as the Giants finished 9-5 and missed the playoffs by one game. A year later, he suffered a broken leg and retired after the 1971 season after appearing in only six games and became a scout the following season."
