Sam Garnes

Samuel Aaron Garnes (born July 12, 1974) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive back and coach in the National Football League (NFL). He is currently a radio personality on The Ryan Show FM.

The New York Giants selected him New York Giants in the fifth round of the 1997 NFL draft. A native of the Bronx, Garnes is an alumnus of John Philip Sousa Junior High School located in the Edenwald section of that borough. Garnes currently resides in Fort Lee, New Jersey.

In 2011, Garnes became an assistant secondary coach for the Denver Broncos.

The Broncos’ secondary in 2013 overcame numerous injuries to its personnel, including extended periods without 12-time Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey and starting safety Rahim Moore. In their absence, cornerback Chris Harris Jr. became a steadying force on the outside, and second-year safety Duke Ihenacho emerged as a solid contributor in the defensive backfield.

He joined the Chicago Bears' coaching staff as an assistant secondary coach in 2015, but was let go after the 2016 season.

In 2019, he became a Sports Analyst on the nationally syndicated radio program, The Ryan Show FM.
