Seubert attended Western Illinois University and played tight end as a freshman.

Seubert was at the center of an officiating controversy in the 2002 NFC playoffs, where the Giants faced the [[San Francisco 49ers]]. The Giants, who had led by a score of 38-14, were trailing 39-38 when [[Matt Bryant]] had a chance to kick a game-winning field goal. When [[Trey Junkin]] botched the snap, Seubert, an eligible receiver on the play, went out to try to catch holder [[Matt Allen]]'s pass. Allen underthrew Seubert, who was grabbed and pulled down by [[Chike Okeafor]], apparently drawing a pass interference penalty. Instead, an illegal man downfield penalty was called on Seubert, ending the game. The next day the NFL revealed that Seubert had checked in prior to the play, but one of his downfield teammates, Tam Hopkins, had not. Okeafor's interference call and the Hopkins call would have offset the penalties and forced a replaying of the down. The NFL drew a fair amount of criticism for the non-call on Seubert's play.<ref>{{cite news|title=Giants-49ers game ended with missed interference penalty|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/2003/playoffs/news/2003/01/06/niners_error_ap/|work=CNNSI.com|publisher=CNN/Sports Illustrated|accessdate=6 June 2010|agency=Associated Press|date=January 6, 2003}}</ref> The NFL later issued an official apology to the Giants in the offseason.<ref>{{cite web|last=Thiel|first=Art|title=Blown call leads to great one|url=http://www.seattlepi.com/thiel/103211_thie08.shtml?dpfrom=thead|work=Seattle Post-Intelligencer|accessdate=6 June 2010|date=January 8, 2003}}</ref> The play ended up on [[NFL Top 10]]'s ''Top Ten Meltdowns''<ref>{{cite web|author=|url=http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-top-ten/09000d5d82ac35eb/Top-10-meltdowns-in-NFL-history |title=NFL Videos: Top 10 meltdowns in NFL history |publisher=Nfl.com |date=2012-07-23 |accessdate=2012-08-03}}</ref> at #10 and #7 on ''Top Ten Controversial Calls''.<ref>{{cite web|author=|url=http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-total-access/09000d5d8187af4c/Top-10-controversial-calls |title=NFL Videos: Top 10 controversial calls |publisher=Nfl.com |date=2010-06-03 |accessdate=2012-08-03}}</ref>

The Giants began to use Seubert as a [[tight end]] in 2006, but due to his jersey number (69), he must be announced over the public address system by the referees as an [[eligible receiver]] when he plays in that position. He was announced in this way roughly 20 times per game.<ref name="nytate">{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/08/sports/football/08giants.html?fta=y|title=As a Tight End, Seubert Makes a Grand Entrance |last=Branch|first=John|date=2006-12-08|work=The New York Times|accessdate=30 December 2009}}</ref>
