New York Giants Quarterback Tommy DeVito Is Balling But Let's Not Forget...
On this week's episode of the "Bleav in Giants" podcast, hosts Carl Banks and Bob Papa engaged in a candid discussion about Giants QB Tommy DeVito and the journey that led him to the NFL. In a football world sometimes prone to creating myths of instant stardom, Papa and Banks aimed to shed light on the reality of DeVito's path.
Bob Papa says " It's not like Tommy was making sandwiches at a deli and going to community college"; instead, he dedicated five years to collegiate football. DeVito's journey took him from Syracuse University to his final collegiate season at the University of Illinois. Papa's statement served as a reminder that the NFL is a destination earned through hard work, experience, and years of dedication.
Carla Banks also cautioned against overly romanticizing DeVito's NFL debut, reminding listeners that it's essential not to give him unwarranted praise as if he emerged from nowhere to become a starting NFL quarterback.
The hosts' discussion highlighted the value of experience and the recognition that success in the NFL is not a product of chance or luck. Rather, it is the culmination of years of hard work, discipline, and a commitment to honing one's skills.
