Suspension;Tommy Devito has been suspended definitely his not playing for …
DeVito has thrown six touchdown passes and one interception in his starts against the Cowboys, Patriots and Commanders. Given the Giants’ two-game win streak, it was almost expected they would continue in this direction with development of their younger players among the top priorities.
“I wasn’t surprised,” DeVito said. “At the same time, I didn’t know what was going to happen. I was told during the bye week there was a decision that was going to be made. And as soon as there was a decision, I would be made aware. And I was. I’m happy about it, but at the same time it’s a job. You still have to go out and perform. It’s not like you’re at the top now, which I’m completely far from, but I’m just going to go out and get better each and every day and try to earn the respect of my teammates, my coaches and try to do that every play.”
Having DeVito start is a move that is sure to appease a good portion of the hometown fans. He’s a local legend, having won a state championship at powerhouse Don Bosco Prep High School and been born and raised in New Jersey.
The past few weeks have even started somewhat of a DeVito craze, in part because of his local ties and Italian heritage. A recent appearance had hundreds of fans waiting in line in the cold and coming with all kinds of obscure requests, including signing autographs with the nickname they made for him, “Tommy Cutlets.”
