ESM EXCLUSIVE: Shaun O’Hara talks about the Giants, Rutgers, and football’s future

It’s safe to say that each of Shaun O’Hara’s former football squads could use him right now.

O’Hara, who turns 43 on Tuesday, was born to be a New Jersey gridiron legend. Having grown up in Hillsborough Township, O’Hara would go on to star for the local high school’s Raiders before embarking on a five-year journey at Rutgers. An 11-year career in the NFL awaited him afterward, one that was primarily spent just about 45 minutes away fro Piscataway in East Rutherford. As a New York Giants, O’Hara served as one of the most consistent protectors for Eli Manning as the Giants’ center for seven seasons.
