  • George Young won a Super Bowl (V) as an assistant coach, and he parlayed that success to an executive job with the Miami Dolphins as their director of player personnel. In 1979, he received his greatest opportunity when he was named the general manager of the New York Giants.

    Young was the Giants general manager for two decades, and his attention to drafting and hiring personnel would see him win two Super Bowls. A five-time Executive of the Year, Young was also once the chairman of the NFL Competition Committee.

    Young would later serve the NFL as the senior vice president of football operations from 1998 to 2001.

    We are proud to nominate George Young for the United States Athletic Hall of Fame.
