Jeremy Shockey says the Giants need a champion and John Harbaugh’s The Guy

Jeremy Shockey has never been shy…and his message to the New York Giants is simple…go get it John Harbaugh!

The four-time Pro Bowl tight end – who won a Super Bowl with the Giants during the 2007 season – talks TMZ Sports THE former Ravens coach would be his choice for the Big Apple.

“A coach of this caliber with this kind of pedigree and experience doesn’t come along often,” Shockey said, adding that the G-Men shouldn’t chase “one-time wonders” or roll the dice on another untested recruit.

Instead, he pointed directly to Harbaugh’s resume, calling him a “champion and a winner” while emphasizing the key point: He’s available.

Translation? Shockey thinks they would be crazy not to pull the trigger.

Of course, NYG isn’t the only organization looking for a new coach. In fact, a quarter of the NFL is looking for a new leader, and Harbaugh is at the top of almost everyone’s wish lists for the reasons Shockey outlined.

That said, the Giants are arguably the most attractive position. They have a promising young core with a quarterback Jaxson Dart — who the cameras captured respond to the search for coaching last week — and go back Cam Skattebowho Shockey says shares similarities with himself.

“I’m big fans of both and I’m thrilled to be a Giants fan myself,” he said.

We also spoke with Shockey about his Canes before their College Football Playoff championship game against the Indiana Hoosiers.

The U hasn’t won a title since Shockey was an All-American during the 2000 season… something he says will change soon.
