Will there be room for hometown hero Tommy DeVito on the Giants roster?
Tommy DeVito wasn’t supposed to play the role of hero last year. Hek, he wasn’t even supposed to see the field for that matter.
He stepped in for Jones in Week 9 after the starter was lost for the season with a torn ACL, but that game and the ensuing one at Dallas were lopsided losses. Alas for him, things came crashing back down to earth in a 24-6 loss to the Saints. The following week, on Christmas day, DeVito was benched at halftime in what would be a 33-25 loss to the hated Eagles.
the 31-19 victory vs. Washington in which he finished 18 of 26 for 246 yards, three touchdowns, and no turnovers, absorbing a season-high nine sacks. But in that short stretch, we learned a lot about DeVito. For one, he has an NFL arm and can throw almost every pass. He never looked like a deer caught in the headlights, and he gave off enough positive vibes to think that with more experience, he could, at the very least, be a decent backup in this league for a long time and a guy who could win a team a few games at that.DeVito is in Year 2 of his UDFA contract and is due to earn $916,000 this season .
