NFL quarterback Tommy DeVito goes viral for living with his mom—who still cook, clean, and make his bed

NFL rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito is officially living the dream, he’s making $1 million this season, he’s got fans chanting his name at MetLife and he still lives with his parents in New Jersey. His mom makes his bed, does his laundry, and cooks all his meals. DeVito’s not ashamed, either. In fact, he says it’s a “no-brainer.” And fans? They’re either wildly impressed or totally confused.This isn’t a rumor. It’s straight from DeVito himself. The New Jersey native told ESPN he still lives at home in Cedar Grove because:“Everything that I need is there at the house... the decision was a no-brainer for me.”No rent. No commute. Mom’s chicken cutlets. It’s peak Italian-American son energy and social media loves it.DeVito is on a standard rookie deal and will make around $1 million this year not chump change, but not Mahomes money either. So yes, he could afford a place. But he’s choosing financial discipline over flash, and fans are reacting accordingly:One user, @kingshagrin comments, “$1 million ain’t shit in New York lol”Another user @mikejbabcock, agreed to the setting, “Median income for a single person in Jersey is $49K. That $1M puts DeVito in the top 1%. But hey, if mom’s gonna cook and clean, I might stay home too.”People are torn, some think it’s genius financial planning, others think it’s peak mama’s boy energy.DeVito isn’t just a meme, he actually won games for the Giants last yearWhile the living situation is funny, let’s not forget, DeVito stepped in as QB for the Giants last season and won games. He had a three-game win streak, went viral for his hand gestures, and brought life to a flat Giants offense.Now? He’s still a backup, but firmly on the radar—and living rent-free (literally) while doing it.Not every NFL player needs a $10M condo or flashy sports car. Tommy DeVito is proof that staying grounded can still work even in the most high-profile job in sports. And as long as he keeps winning games (and bringing leftovers to practice), no one’s really complaining.Also read - Joe Burrow’s LSU legacy casts a long shadow and now even baseball stars feel it
