You can’t really blame the guy. I mean, he’s only been on the NY Giants for 3 weeks so far, and before that he was on the practice squad before being called up. So it’s not that big a deal that he still lives at home, sleeps in the same bed he slept in as a kid, and his mom still does his laundry and cooks him food. Not a big deal, right?!?! Wrong!
The NY Giant’s newest starting Quarterback (because their 1st string Daniel Jones and 2nd string Tyrod Taylor are both injured and possibly out for the season) is Tommy DeVito, and he still lives at home.
Tommy DeVito mentioned in an interview “”It was a no-brainer for me. Everything that I need is there at the house. The decision was made since this level of football is stressful for a rookie, especially from the quarterback position. There is a lot going on, a lot of meetings. So everything outside of football is handled by my family.
I don’t have to worry about laundry, what I’m eating for dinner, chicken cutlets and all that is waiting for me when I get there. My mom still makes my bed. Everything is handled for me. Honestly, I don’t even know if I could find a place closer to here than where I live. It takes me 12 minutes to get here.”
Talk about a real life ‘Failure to Launch’! I mean, I get that things have happened really quick for the guy, but he’s been graduated since May 2022. He declared for the 2023 NFL Draft, but went undrafted (sad face). Then the New York Giants signed him as an undrafted free agent on April 29, 2023, shortly after the conclusion of the 2023 NFL Draft. Then they waived on August 29, 2023, but re-signed to the practice squad. On the practice squad in the NFL players make $12,000 a week. When he was called up to the 53 man roster for the NY Giants had began making the league minimum of $750,000 a year, which is pro-rated for each game he plays. So having played 3 games out of 18 in the regular season, Tommy DeVito has made $125,000 in the NFL in just his 3 games with the NY Giants.
So yea, as soon as the NY Giants have a bye week he should start hitting Craigslist and begin looking for his own place! Mom can still come over with a freshly cooked dinner, because no one should ever turn down a home cooked meal!
