Could Giants’ undrafted quarterback develop into Daniel Jones’ backup?

The New York Giants have stumbled upon a captivating quarterback prospect who could very well be the future backup to Daniel Jones.

Tommy DeVito: The Undrafted Standout

That quarterback in the spotlight is none other than Tommy DeVito. An undrafted sensation out of Illinois, DeVito grabbed attention and earned himself a spot on the practice squad thanks to a remarkable preseason showing. In just three preseason matches, he threw for an impressive 453 yards—which places him sixth among quarterbacks this preseason—and connected for two touchdowns. On the flip side, he also threw two interceptions.

A Journey Full of Hills and Thrills

Despite the roadblocks that lie ahead, DeVito has exhibited substantial promise, showcasing not only a sturdy pocket presence but also a capable arm and rapid decision-making skills.
