Giants QB Tommy DeVito's Agent ‘Italian Jerry Maguire’ Is A Mass Sports Legend Giants QB Tommy DeVito's Agent ‘Italian Jerry Maguire’ Is A Mass Sports Legend
Giants QB Tommy DeVito's Agent ‘Italian Jerry Maguire’ Is A Mass Sports 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…
