Giants sign Tommy DeVito to active roster

Two days after scoring his first NFL touchdown, former Illinois star QB Tommy DeVito has been signed to a NFL team.

The Giants signed DeVito to the team’s active roster on Tuesday. He was elevated to the team’s active roster in mid-October after an injury to Daniel Jones. Technically, DeVito was “on loan” from the practice squad; he could be called up four times before having to be released.

DeVito was then thrust into action after Tyrod Taylor’s injury in a truly ugly game against the Jets. He completed 2 of 7 passes for a spectacular -1 yard.
