### Tommy DeVito Takes Starting Job as Giants Shake Up Quarterback Lineup

In a surprising mid-season quarterback shuffle, Tommy DeVito has surged from a lower spot on the depth chart to seize the starting role for the New York Giants, bypassing both Daniel Jones and Drew Lock. This week has witnessed Jones fall to the fourth position in the pecking order, further nudging him out of the spotlight he once occupied.

Drew Lock, who found himself unexpectedly demoted despite being second on the depth chart, expressed his bewilderment over the decision. "That's a question I might still have for myself," Lock candidly noted, reflecting the general sentiment echoed within the organization. He mentioned, "It was expressed to me that I was going to be the two. Interesting situation. Not much I can say about it besides again, I'm going to be here for him."

Despite the personal disappointment, Lock remains supportive of DeVito and pledges to keep a positive attitude. "There's a ton of emotions involved in all of it," Lock admitted. Acknowledging the professional stakes, he noted, "I want more jobs after this year. So, if I come in and be ugly and nasty, it leaves a bad taste in these guys' mouths, and who knows how fast that spreads?"

Lock's relationship with DeVito adds another layer to the situation. He expressed genuine happiness for his teammate, stating, "I'm become really close with Tommy. It's more than just a business thing. I appreciate him. He's a great friend, and I want him to go out there and do well."

The decision to favor DeVito over more experienced options like Lock is puzzling to many. The Giants had signed Lock to a one-year, $5 million deal to serve as Jones' backup, a move which some retrospectively criticized as a budget misallocation that could have funded the retention of running back Saquon Barkley. Lock's professional career includes starting two games for the Seahawks last season, and he has a record of 23 career starts combined between his time in Denver and Seattle, racking up 5,289 passing yards, 28 touchdowns, and 23 interceptions.

The Giants' leadership faces scrutiny as they navigate these adjustments, with fans and analysts alike eager to see how DeVito performs under this newfound pressure.
