Tommy DeVito is making waves in the NFL, with an impressive start to his career. He’s thrown for 855 yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions in four games, leading the New York Giants to a 3-1 record in relief of the injured Daniel Jones.
But let’s not get too carried away with the Tom Brady comparisons just yet.
“Yeah, I mean, we’re four games in,” Brian Daboll told reporters Tuesday when a reporter started to ask the head coach—who was on the New England Patriots staff when Brady replaced the injured Drew Bledsoe and led the team to a Super Bowl title—if DeVito’s situation reminded him of Brady at all. “I do appreciate the question.”

“That’s a long time ago,” he added. “I’d just say every situation is different. I couldn’t probably give you the answer that you’re looking for.”
DeVito may have the Giants asking some questions about who should be the starting quarterback going forward, giving the mixed results Jones has offered in his career. But it’s probably a bit too soon to be evoking the name of Brady just yet.
