NY Giants QB Tommy DeVito's Agent ‘Italian Jerry Maguire’ Is A New England Legend NY Giants QB Tommy DeVito's Agent ‘Italian Jerry Maguire’ Is A New England Legend
NY Giants QB Tommy DeVito's Agent ‘Italian Jerry Maguire’ Is A New England Legend The football world got its first taste of New York Giants Quarterback Tommy DeVito's agent on Monday night, but Massachusetts residents and many college football fans in New York already knew him.

What a world! https://t.co/3wLRG84HF…
