John Schneider is the current General Manager for the Seattle Seahawks of the NFL. Schneider was hired the same year as former Head Coach Pete Carroll and the two worked together to make the playoffs in 10 out of their 13 seasons, including winning Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014. Schneider focused on building the Seahawks Super Bowl-winning roster through the draft, with only four players on the 2014 team on the roster when Schneider took over. His late-round drafting has been incredibly impressive, selecting players like Richard Sherman, Russell Wilson, Tyler Lockett, Kam Chancellor, and KJ Wright all in rounds 3-5.
Before his time with the Seahawks, John spent over 15 years with various NFL teams in various roles, beginning with The Green Bay Packers in 1993 as a scout. In 2021, Schneider signed a six-year contract extension, keeping him in Seattle as GM until 2027.
