DeVito's journey has been a real-life Cinderella story. The New Jersey native stepped in to lead the Giants to two straight wins after going undrafted and starting the season as the third-string quarterback.

To celebrate DeVito’s hard work paying off, family, friends and fans gathered for a New Jersey, Italian American-style tailgate with over 300 chicken cutlets being loaded into sandwiches by Tommy’s cousin Danny DeVito (yes, that is his real name), and even cookies from Calandra's – featuring DeVito's already-signature touchdown celebration of pursed fingers.
