Tommy Devito, third-string backup quarterback now starting QB for the New York Giants has without a doubt become one of the most famous people in Jersey over the past few weeks.

The local boy came out of nowhere after Giants starting QB Daniel Jones suffered an ACL injury a few weeks ago, and then Giants back-up QB Tyrod Taylor suffered a rib injury a week later and was not able to play.

Enter Tommy "Cutlets" Devito.

Devito has been the Giant's third-string QB but since being thrust into the starting position he's led the Giants to three straight victories bringing their record to 5 and 8 as of the time of this article.

Devito still lives at home in Cedar Grove with his parents and is an avid fan of chicken cutlets, thus the nickname "Tommy Cutlets".
