Giants: DeVito showing he still belongs in NFL with Pats
DeVito fell victim to an upgraded quarterback room in New York. No matter, his final preseason showing with the Giants — where he threw for 198 passing yards along with three passing touchdowns — proved that he can still provide a spark on the field.
Ultimately, though, New York is in good hands with Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and coveted rookie Jaxson Dart. Behind Wilson, Winston’s superior arm talent, coupled with Dart’s promise, made the hierarchical QB decision in New York one that didn’t fall in DeVito’s favor.
However, the Patriots have a great QB3 in the New Jersey native who can do for them what he did for his former team over the course of his two-year tenure at MetLife Stadium.
