Tommy DeVito will make his first NFL start on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. Once back in his tri-state area, he will head to his place of residence: his childhood home.
The 25-year-old grew up in Cedar Grove, New Jersey, about nine miles from MetLife Stadium. It takes just 12 minutes to get to the Meadowlands from his home.
He didn’t even have to make any major lifestyle changes, as he signed with the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent earlier this year after spending five years at Syracuse and another year at Illinois. In fact, he lives his life as usual.
