Jeremy Shockey (born August 18, 1980 in Ada, Oklahoma) is a professional American football player, currently playing tight end for the New York Giants.
Shockey attended the University of Miami, and was selected 14th in the first round of the NFL Draft by the Giants in 2002. He quickly thrived in the NFL, being named to the Pro Bowl in each of his first two seasons, and again in 2005.
Possessing great athletic abilities to run routes and make crucial blocks, Shockey is perhaps best known for his sometimes brash comments on other players and the media, and for his antics off the field. His most notable incident came when in an article in Sports Illustrated, he referred to Dallas Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells as a "homo".
Shockey signed a five-year contract extension with the Giants on October 12, 2005.
Shockey is featured on the cover of the EA Sports game NFL Street 2, along with Atlanta Falcons all-star tight end Alge Crumpler.
Shockey is also a well-known fan of the rock band Phish.
