Undrafted Rookie Tommy DeVito Emerges as Giants' Unexpected Star Amidst Season of Injuries
DeVito's Performance Leads Giants to First Two-Game Winning Streak of the Season
- Tommy DeVito, an undrafted rookie free agent, has emerged as the unexpected star for the New York Giants amidst a season of injuries and disappointment.
- DeVito, who was initially cut at the end of training camp and signed to the practice squad, has been thrust into the spotlight due to injuries to starting quarterback Daniel Jones and backup Tyrod Taylor.
- In his three starts, DeVito has posted a 2-1 record with six touchdown passes and one interception, leading the Giants to their first two-game winning streak of the season.
- DeVito's quarterback rating has been over 100 in wins over Washington and New England, making him the first undrafted rookie in the common-draft era to record a 100-plus passer rating in consecutive starts.
- The Giants, currently with a 4-8 record, will return from their bye week on Dec. 11 with a Monday night game at home against the Packers (5-6). Whether DeVito remains the starter is still uncertain.
