Tommy DeVito, the undrafted rookie quarterback for the New York Giants, has captured the hearts of fans with his unexpected rise to starting quarterback.
Despite a rough start, he has led the team to a three-game winning streak.
DeVito’s journey resonates with fans as he grew up near MetLife Stadium. His love for chicken cutlets with his family has become a national sensation, earning him the nickname “Tommy Cutlets.”
While his play can be inconsistent, DeVito has become a symbol of hope for the Giants. However, recent decisions by the team suggest he may not be a big part of their future plans.
REPORT: Tommy Devito is unlikely to be on the #Giants roster next season, per Fox Sports.

DeVito’s rise to fame has been like something out of a sports movie.
Fans have lined up for his autograph and a deli owner even sent chicken cutlets to the Giants locker room. A brewery even named a beer after him.
The excitement around DeVito has gripped Northern New Jersey, with fans enjoying the roller coaster ride.
Despite his success, he still lives at home with his parents and keeps his locker next to his old practice squad teammates.
DeVito’s story has turned him into a local legend in the tri-state area.
While his future with the Giants is uncertain, DeVito’s story exemplifies the magic of sports and the unexpected heroes it creates.
The Giants face critical decisions this offseason that will shape their future, and it appears that DeVito is unlikely to be on their roster next season.

Thought he played well enough to be wanted in a QB room somewhere, even if not with the Giants

It was the most fun three weeks I’ve had in a football season ever

He’d prob get a shot at practice squad if he didn’t handle his situation the way he did

I can see it already, DeVitto gets picked up, by the Jets.

He's the best QB on that roster

As the soul and spirit to make an unwatchable season entertaining again – even if for a few short games – this is blasphemous. For the moments we did get, I'd buy a Tommy cutlets jersey or DJ any day. Keep him in as QB3 and the heart and soul of the team

Everybody making it seem like he was set up to be the back up. He was just there last year out of necessity after both their starter and back up went down
