The NY Giants are embracing the full Jersey Italian that is Tommy DeVito.
On Sunday, DeVito and his family were seen making Italian hand gestures after he scored a TD.

The Giants QB uses the hand gesture as a shoutout to old Italians.
“I kind of thought it was just the old Italians,” DeVito said. “When they talk, they start doing this. It’s just a little credit to them.”
DeVito credited the TD celebration to Giants assistant athletic trainer Phil Buzzerio.
“He mentioned it to me a couple of weeks ago,” DeVito said. “I was like, ‘All right, I’ll roll with it one of these days,’ and he was like, ‘This is the week!’ All right, I did it, and then it kind of took off from there.”
The best part of DeVito’s intro on Sunday happened before the game when he walked out to the Sopranos theme.
