New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito set tongues wagging on Sunday morning with a bizarre outfit choice for his arrival at MetLife Stadium.
The young playcaller, who has risen from QB3 to starter for the Giants this season, was preparing for a huge game against the Baltimore Ravens.
But fans quickly noticed that he had opted for a bold purple jacket as he arrived to the stadium… the exact color of the Giants’ opponents on Sunday.
‘Rock bottom is when your starting QB is dressing like the other team,’ one fan wrote as social media quickly lit up with criticism of the 26-year-old.
‘Ravens purple in honor of the a** whooping he will be getting today,’ another added.
DeVito was third-choice with the Giants this season but has been catapulted back into the spotlight following injuries to Daniel Jones and Drew Lock.

The culmination of an awful season for the New York franchise saw them release Jones a few weeks ago, and their record now sits at 2-11 ahead of the Ravens game.
MetLife Stadium was far from full for Sunday’s visit of the Vikings, and Baltimore quickly raced into a lead in the first half, courtesy of a Mark Andrews touchdown.
The lead was doubled courtesy of a Rashod Bateman TD shortly into the second quarter.
Fans took to social media mid-game to throw yet more shade at DeVito, this time for his playing ability rather than his fashion choices.
‘Tommy DeVito needs to never play in the NFL again, just awful,’ one said, while another claimed Devito is ‘the worst professional QB I’ve ever seen.’
