The NFL is a tricky game, and it is tough to build a long career in a sport that has an average career span of roughly three years.
Former Illini quarterback Tommy DeVito has done a great job carving out a spot in the NFL. Earlier this week, DeVito dealt with what much of the NFL deals with, as he was waived by the New York Giants.
This wasn’t shocking news, as the Giants loaded up on quarterbacks, and DeVito was clearly the odd man out. With his arm and experience, DeVito was sure to get another job.
