Tommy DeVito said, "My mom still makes my bed." before his NFL debut.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito will make his first career start in the NFL on Sunday, but there seems to be little chance of the success going to his head.

DeVito, a New Jersey native, called the decision to continue living with his parents a “no-brainer.”

My mom still makes my bed. Everything is handled for me. Honestly, I don’t even know if I could find a place closer to here than where I live. It takes me 12 minutes to get here.”

DeVito was an undrafted free agent and started the season on the Giants’ practice squad, only being signed to the active roster last week when backup QB Tyrod Taylor suffered a rib injury.

“That is the greatest. You know what, smart!” DeVito’s teammate Justin Pugh said of DeVito’s living situation, per ESPN. “Saving his money. Genius! That’s the one thing I’d say from a financial standpoint.

Giants running back Saquon Barkley said he told DeVito journey rise “could be a hell of a story.”
