"Devito completed 17-of-20 passes for 198 yards and three touchdowns in the tune-up clash against the Patriots. He went out with a bang in what will go down as his final game with the Giants, posting an absurdly good 147.5 passer rating. The 27-year-old punctuated a strong summer of exhibition football with a strong outing, showcasing his tangible upside, which shouldn't come much of shock."
"We've seen DeVito keep the ship afloat when called upon, which feels like an especially vital need for the Pats. Maye suffered at least one and likely two known concussions as a rookie and was evaluated for head injuries in multiple contests. The latter's rushing ability and dual-threat prowess is a needle-mover, though it also makes him more susceptible to injury."
The Patriots used the NFL's No. 4 waiver priority to claim quarterback Tommy DeVito days after he dismantled their defense in a preseason finale. DeVito completed 17-of-20 passes for 198 yards and three touchdowns in that tune-up, finishing with a 147.5 passer rating. The 27-year-old showed tangible upside and becomes a stealthily intriguing third signal-caller behind starter Drake Maye and backup Joshua Dobbs. Maye's prior concussion evaluations and dual-threat rushing increase injury risk, creating a clear need for depth. Across 12 games with the Giants, DeVito posted a 65.3% completion rate, 1,358 yards, eight touchdowns, three interceptions, 195 rushing yards and a touchdown on 36 carries. His egregiously high career sack percentage (16.23) is more than twice the league average.
