The New York Giants announced six new hirings today, including Sam Rosengarten, who will serve as the director of high performance.
Also added were five football analysts: Skyler Mornhinweg, Taylor Kolste, Patrick Moynahan, Kyrell Michael and Bonner Bordelon.
Rosengarten has nine seasons of NFL experience, all with the Baltimore Ravens. He held the same role in Baltimore, where he oversaw player monitoring systems, training load management, recovery protocols, and performance analytics. He integrated real-time biometric monitoring during practice, advanced player‑monitoring protocols, and injury‑prevention strategies tailored to the demands of the NFL.
His expertise helped shape new data applications within the organization, driving innovation in injury forecasting and personalized athlete development to enhance player availability, optimize performance, and support overall team success.
In 2020, Rosengarten was invited to present his concepts on athlete management and injury prevention to the NFL Physician Society at the annual NFL Scouting Combine.
Before arriving in Baltimore, Rosengarten led the Buffalo Sabres’ injury‑prevention program for two seasons and oversaw all day‑to‑day care of the players.
Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Rosengarten is a board‑certified physical therapist, a certified strength and conditioning specialist, and a sports physiotherapist in both Australia and the United Kingdom.
He has also consulted for the NBA’s New York Knicks and Oklahoma City Thunder, as well as England’s Lawn Tennis Association, among others.
Rosengarten has spent more than 17 years working with athletes in professional sports environments around the world. He has built a reputation for utilizing cutting‑edge technology to optimize athletic performance and reduce injury risk. He has published research in leading sports medicine and sports science journals, including the British Journal of Sports Medicine and the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, and has presented at major international conferences, including the International Olympic Committee’s World Conference on the Prevention of Illness and Injury in Sport.
Rosengarten also co‑founded two leading sports medicine clinics—Sportsmed Biologic and Recover Sports Medicine—where he led multidisciplinary teams across clinical, surgical, and allied health domains serving professional and elite amateur athletes.
Last week, the Giants announced a series of additions to the coaching staff and front office, including Ron Shrift (director of strength and conditioning) and Brian Ellis (assistant strength coach), both of whom previously worked with Harbaugh.
In the Strength and Conditioning/Performance department, six coaches were retained:
Aaron Wellman (executive director of player performance), Chris Allen (assistant strength and conditioning coach), Sam Coad (performance manager/assistant strength and conditioning coach), Matthew Frakes (director of performance nutrition), Mark Naylor (assistant strength and conditioning coach), and Drew Wilson (assistant director of strength and conditioning).
The Giants also hired head athletic trainer Adam Bennett, who held the same role at the University of Miami since 2023. Ronnie Barnes, who joined the organization in 1976 and has overseen the team’s medical services since 1981, will continue in that capacity. Barnes was inducted into the Giants Ring of Honor in 2022.
