Shawn O’Hara, former center for the New York Giants, has been named 65th on the Giants’ Top 100 Players list. His impressive career earned him this recognition, cementing his legacy within the franchise.
From Walk-On to Super Bowl Champion.
O’Hara’s football journey began humbly as a walk-on tight end at Rutgers University. His hard work transformed him into a team captain and All-Big East tackle. After going undrafted, he made the Cleveland Browns’ roster and even scored a touchdown as a tackle-eligible in 2001. In 2004, he joined the New York Giants, alongside Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning.
Leading the Giants to Super Bowl Glory.
O’Hara became one of the five captains of the 2007 Giants team that won Super Bowl XLII. His leadership and resilience made him a key figure on the offensive line. He was also one of three Giants centers selected to three Pro Bowls, joining Ray Wietecha and Bart Oates.
A True Leader On and Off the Field.
Beyond football, O’Hara was beloved for his upbeat personality and his relationships with teammates and reporters. When he retired in 2010, he reflected on the support of his coach, Tom Coughlin, and Ronnie Barnes, who introduced him to his wife, Amy. Coughlin praised O’Hara, calling him a “bright and tough leader” who pushed through challenges throughout his career.
