Giants QB Tommy DeVito ranks Italian foods in latest embrace of Jersey heritage

Tommy DeVito is living the dream of every kid he grew up with in New Jersey — starting at quarterback for the New York Giants.

So, of course, he had to pay homage to his heritage — by ranking Italian foods with New York cooking influencer Cugine, or "Cug" as he is known.

DeVito is a bright spot in a dismal season for the Giants, who are 4-8 and lost first-string quarterback Daniel Jones for the season. However, the undrafted rookie who played in college at Syracuse and Illinois is holding onto the starter role even though original second-stringer Tyrod Taylor is now healthy.

Giants fans (many of whom are related to DeVito) have embraced the hometown star. He even has a sandwich named after him at a nearby Italian deli, and he ran out to the "Sopranos" theme song before his first home start at MetLife Stadium.
