- Jersey Boy. Tommy was born in Livingston, NJ, and grew up in Cedar Grove, just a short drive from MetLife Stadium. He played college ball at Syracuse before finishing up at Illinois, and now he’s living the dream as the Giants’ QB1 in his home state.
- Despite being named QB1 for Week 12, Tommy still lives at home with his parents less than 10 miles from the Giants practice facility. He’s loving the perks – home-cooked meals, a made bed, and of course, no laundry duty!
- Growing up in Jersey with strong Italian roots, Tommy earned the nickname “Tommy Cutlets.” Between the nickname and the home cooking, this QB knows how to keep it classic.
- Tommy isn’t the only one with Italian flair. His agent Sean Stellato aka “The Italian Stallion of sports agents,” made headlines with his pinstripe suit and fedora on the sidelines. Even Peyton Manning had to comment!
- When Tommy went undrafted in 2023, he signed with the Giants even though the Commanders offered him more money. Why? Because he couldn’t pass up the chance to play for his home team in the state he loves. Jersey pride, all the way!
