Tommy DeVito is the undisputed king of New Jersey for the foreseeable future. The hometown hero, who still lives at home with his parents, has become a viral sensation over the last few weeks.
He was never supposed to play for the New York Giants, but injuries to Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor thrust the undrafted free agent into the starting job. NFL fans everywhere have rallied around the most Italian signal-caller in history and his incredible family, which is straight out of the Sopranos. To make it even better, he won each of his last two games!
His jersey sales have spiked by a more than 1,200% since taking over at quarterback in Week 9. Everybody and their mothers are throwing their hands up with pinched fingers as DeVito’s viral ‘Che vuoi?’ touchdown celebration takes over the league.
Pandemonium swept the Garden State as fans lined the block of a sub shop to get white tank tops and chicken parms signed by DeVito last week. It continued into the weekend as the Giants took their bye week.
Tommy DeVito threw an absolute banger at the always-popping Wicked Wolf Tavern in Hoboken on Saturday night.
The place was packed to the gills! DeVito, of course, rocked his signature ‘TD’ chain.
Drinks were flowing, music was banging, and vibes were incredibly high. There was no better way to celebrate the holiday season — and, more importantly, Tommy DeVito.
However, he quickly learned that throwing an inflatable football is nothing like the real thing!
No single athlete has captivated the entire tri-state area like DeVito is right now since Jeremey Lin on the Knicks in 2011-12. This incredible run won’t last forever, because the Giants plan to go back to Jones next season, but we can enjoy the fun while it lasts!
