Tommy DeVito's 'Italian Swagger' Lands Him in New England!

Tommy DeVito, affectionately known as "Tommy Cutlets," is bringing his unique brand of energy and confidence to the New England Patriots. After being claimed off waivers from the New York Giants, the quarterback has quickly made an impression on his new team.

From Jersey Kid to Patriot: DeVito's Impact

Patriots quarterbacks coach Ashton Grant noted DeVito's infectious "Italian swagger," saying, "He comes in and he’s a Jersey kid for sure. A lot of confidence. A lot of swagger. I like working with Tommy." Grant even recalled a past game where DeVito, playing for Syracuse, led his team to a decisive victory over Grant's Holy Cross team. He remembers the swagger and speed with which DeVito played.

Embracing Boston's Italian Heritage

DeVito has wasted no time immersing himself in New England culture. He was recently spotted in Boston's North End, a historically Italian neighborhood, celebrating at St. Anthony's Feast. He even visited My Mother's Cutlets restaurant, further solidifying his "Tommy Cutlets" persona.

Giants GM Admits Regret

The Giants' general manager, Joe Schoen, admitted the team would have liked to have DeVito back, highlighting the value of his experience. "We would've loved to have him back, but he was claimed. We wish him nothing but the best," Schoen stated.

DeVito's Potential in New England

DeVito's impressive preseason performance against the Patriots, where he completed 17 of 20 passes for 198 yards and three touchdowns, likely played a role in the team's decision to claim him. He now joins Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs in the Patriots' quarterback room, and some speculate he could even challenge Dobbs for the primary backup role. His past experience as a starter for the Giants could prove invaluable to the Patriots.
