Tommy DeVito Brings the Party: Giants QB Dances at a Bar Mitzvah Amid Offseason Challenges
The New York Giants’ offseason hasn’t exactly been a smooth ride, but quarterback Tommy DeVito is finding ways to keep the vibes high. A recent TikTok video from Shimi Jay captured the third-year signal-caller in full celebration mode at a Bar Mitzvah, dancing with a young boy and a man in a circle before sharing a heartfelt dap-up with them. “Tommy Cutlets rocking at a Bar Mitzvah,” Shimi Jay wrote, and you can see why—kids flocked to DeVito afterward, eager to greet the NFL star who brought some extra joy to the party.
DeVito, who’s entering his third season with the Giants, has had a rollercoaster journey since going undrafted out of Illinois in 2023. He first made waves as a rookie, stepping in after injuries to Daniel Jones and leading the Giants to a three-game win streak against the Commanders, Patriots, and Packers. During that stretch, he threw for 595 yards, five touchdowns, and zero interceptions, earning the nickname “Tommy Cutlets” and sparking a “Linsanity”-like frenzy among Giants fans. But the magic faded with losses to the Saints and Eagles, where he managed just 55 yards before being benched.
In 2024, DeVito appeared in three games, starting against the Buccaneers and Ravens after Jones was benched and later released. Those starts were tough—both ended in blowout losses, with DeVito throwing for 189 yards against Tampa Bay (while getting sacked four times) and just 68 yards against Baltimore. An injury sidelined him for several weeks, but he still finished the season with 257 passing yards, a 70.5% completion rate, and 32 rushing yards, as noted in his career stats.
Despite the rocky year, the Giants re-signed DeVito for 2025, making him the only quarterback from last season’s roster to return. The team also bolstered its QB room by adding veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in free agency and trading up to draft Jaxson Dart in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. With a crowded quarterback competition looming, DeVito’s role is uncertain, but his off-field charm—like this Bar Mitzvah moment—shows why he’s still a fan favorite. Giants Nation might be frustrated with the offseason, but DeVito’s dance moves are a reminder that he’s still got plenty of heart, whether he’s on the field or celebrating life’s big moments.
