Reese is a native of Tiptonville, Tennessee, where he played for the Lake County Falcons' 1980 state champion 1-A high school football team. He played for the University of Tennessee at Martin where he was later an assistant coach before taking a job as a scout for the New York Giants. From 2002 until becoming general manager in 2007, he was the Director of Pro Personnel for the Giants.
Reese participated in the Giants' success in the 2007 NFL Draft, which included the selections of Aaron Ross, Steve Smith, Jay Alford, Kevin Boss, Michael Johnson, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Zak DeOssie. Some of them played important roles in the Giants' Super Bowl XLII victory. Prior to the start of Giants mini-camp in May 2008, Reese and the Giants were invited by President George W. Bush to the White House to honor their Super Bowl victory.[1]
Reese had his second Super Bowl victory in 2011 when the Giants won Super Bowl XLVI over the Patriots.[citation needed]
Personal life
Reese is married to Gwen Moore. They have two children, Jasmyne Danielle and Jerry II.[2] He resides in Jefferson Township, New Jersey, where his son J.R. recently played quarterback for the Jefferson Township High School football team.[3]
