Tommy DeVito took over as the New York Giants starting quarterback Wednesday as the team prepared to play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. DeVito was given the starting job on Monday after coach Brian Daboll benched Daniel Jones with the team on a five-game losing streak.

A New Jersey native who grew up 20 minutes from MetLife Stadium, DeVito plans to focus on football the next two months. He is downplaying his love of chicken parm sandwiches — “Tommy Cutlets”, and anything else not related to the game.QB Love says Packers’ playoff loss to 49ers provides more motivation as they prepare to meet again“Last year was a good story,” DeVito said.
“I bring a certain confidence, energy, swag, whatever you call it, to the team, to the people around me,” he said. “I think I’ve kind of always had that growing up from when I was even younger, so I kind of just bring that energy.” It did for DeVito and didn’t for Lock, who was the No. 2 quarterback all season after signing in the offseason as a free agent.
