Tommy DeVito’s family eating up his primetime Giants moment: ‘Three hundred’ cutlets

Tom DeVito used to watch Monday Night Football with his son Tommy.

On this Monday night, father got to watch son Tommy quarterback the New York Football Giants against the Packers with America watching along with him.

I just want them to see that hes a leader, Tom DeVito told The Post. I want them to see that he can be counted upon. And thats the most important part about playing quarterback, is the leadership role.

This was a little past noon and Tom DeVito was at his house in Cedar Grove, N.J. And so was Tommy DeVito. Who, as everyone knows, lives with his parents.

Tommys actually home right now, the father said. He came back from the team hotel, he comes home, plays with his dog, decompresses, and then he goes back.

Ah, the perks of being a proud father.

He wont read anybodys texts 24 hours before the game, Tom DeVito said. Ill have to see him and I just give him a quick word, one or two words I say, and thats it. Im his fan and his father now, Im far, far removed from being his coach.

So what was Tom DeVito planning on telling Tommy DeVito?

Corey Sipkin for the NY POSTIm gonna tell him, You gotta rally your troops, he said. Every week its different, you know? This is Rally the troops. Its Monday night. You guys havent played well in prime time and this is your chance for redemption, the whole team. They havent played well on Monday night, or any prime-time game as of late. So enough is enough. If youre the leader, you gotta motivate them. I saw Saquons been firing up the troops attitude is everything in this game cause everybodys pretty good.

Tom DeVito was busy rallying his own troops, approximately 300 family and friends, at Lot G16 in the MetLife parking lot with national and local television networks eating it all up in the hours before his son would be trying to rally his.

Cutlet mania taking over local delis as Tommy DeVito gets set for primetime

I always knew he had the talent to play at this level, Tom DeVito said, but I never could ever fathom the instant fandom that he has everywhere. Some people arent always happy for somebody, if they win the lottery or if something good happens, but I have to say, just about everybody Ive come in contact with, its so genuine you hold back tears in your eyes because you see how genuine and happy they are.

Everyone loves an underdog story, and especially a fearless, humble, undrafted underdog who has embraced the biggest moments of his young football career.

He plays with a calm and a poise, Tom DeVito said. Hes confident in his skill set. I have to calm myself down. You know hes good, just be confident, I have to talk myself into Just trust it, trust it, dont hyperventilate here. (Chuckle) Thats what I have to do to myself. I just trust him. The team plays as a unit, theyre gonna go well. He can definitely pull the trigger, thats for sure.

The boy always could.

It started in flag football, but Id say it was fourth-grade year, the proud father said, about 8 years old. He threw a couple of touchdown passes and they got that little Mayors Trophy cause we played our rivals.

That was for the Cedar Grove Junior Panthers. Seventeen years later, this would be the New York Football Giants. And that was Tom DeVito and his wife Alexandra in the stands watching a fairy tale continue.

Corey Sipkin for the NY POSTShes so nervous for him, Tom DeVito said, so as parents, no one wants their kids to feel pressure, we want to help them. But we cant help him out there. So were just rooting hard and hopefully he doesnt let the fans down or the team down and thats our main concern. Shes a little bit more worried about his health dads arent so worried about their sons.

The boys dedication and commitment to quarterback was eye-opening from the beginning.

You have no idea the work that this kid put in, Tom DeVito said. He gave up baseball 11 years old he was a terrific pitcher because two different mechanics. He would train three days a week year round for quarterback.

For Tommy DeVito, it was one step at a time: win a state championship for Don Bosco Prep, play Division I football (Syracuse, Illinois) next.

Corey Sipkin for the NY POSTHe just had a naturally strong arm since he was 5 years old, Tom DeVito said. Ill never forget, it was flag football, and they had him play actually running back, and he had a halfback option pass and he threw the ball, and one of the other coaches was Who threw that?! Tommys talent was so evident that he quickly became a quarterback.

Chefs kiss gestures everywhere in prime time.
