Tommy DeVito on how he is approaching uphill climb to stick with Giants
So much has happened regarding the Giants' quarterback room since Tommy DeVito became the first QB under contract for 2025 in early March. The team signed two experienced signal callers later that month in Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, before also moving up to draft Jaxson Dart late in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft barely two weeks ago. Advertisement From the outside, those maneuverings leave DeVito — the New Jersey-bred fan favorite nicknamed 'Tommy Cutlets' who started eight games over the previous two seasons — as the presumptive No. 4 quarterback when training camp opens in July. 'It's the same mindset I've always had as an undrafted free agent, the same mindset regardless of the other guys [that were brought in],' DeVito told The Post on Friday at an appearance at a PAL camp in the Bronx, in his first public comments since the additions were made.
