Darren Yamashita-Imagn Images<\/p>\n The New Jersey native, known as \u201cTommy Cutlets,\u201d appears to have comfortably \u2014 especially financially \u2014 settled into his life as a backup quarterback.<\/p>\n DeVito appeared in 12 games and made eight starts for the Giants across the 2023 and 2024 seasons, which ironically played a role in why the Patriots landed Maye.<\/p>\n The former Syracuse and Illinois quarterback led the Giants to a 3-3 record in his starts in 2023, including a win over New England, which factored into why Big Blue owned the sixth pick \u2014 used to select Malik Nabers \u2014 and the Patriots possessed the No. 3 selection \u2014 used to draft Maye.<\/p>\n DeVito only started two games and appeared in three contests in the 2024 campaign, and the Giants waived him prior to the 2025 season<\/a> since they had three other quarterbacks on the roster in first-round pick Jaxson Dart and veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston.<\/p>\n The Patriots claimed DeVito on waivers, ending his run with his hometown team<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cMy journey with the New York Giants was more than football \u2014 it was about family, community, and a dream come true for a Jersey kid,\u201d DeVito wrote on Instagram at the time. \u201cI\u2019ll forever be grateful to the organization and fans who welcomed me with open arms. New York will always be home.<\/p>\n \u201cExcited for this next chapter in New England!\u201d<\/p>\n Devito during his time with the Giants. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST<\/p>\n DeVito noted the difference this year in how he\u2019s viewed in Foxborough, Mass.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m looked at as Tommy DeVito the football player and not \u2018Tommy Cutlets,\u2019 the at-home Italian kid down the street,\u201d DeVito said during Super Bowl media week<\/a>. \u201cI think it was good for me. It was good for everything outside of me \u2014 family. It couldn\u2019t happen at a better place.\u201d<\/p>\n
