Tommy DeVito’s story would be wild enough on its own. The undrafted free agent was thrust into the starting lineup after injuries devastated the New York Giants’ offense. The proud Italian from New Jersey stepped into the spotlight for his hometown team and has improved each week, perhaps peaking in Week 14 by leading a game-winning drive to defeat the Green Bay Packers.
DeVito’s done all this while leaning into his heritage. And he’s done all this with an agent who looks like every single New Jersey/Italian stereotype you’ve ever heard. So after Sean Stellato became a sensation with his pinstripe suit/fedora combination last week, he knew expectations would be high for Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints.
Welp, expectations met and, possibly, exceeded.

Stellato showed up days after being inducted into the National Italian American Hall of Fame while wearing the hall’s green jacket. Then he found a matching pair of pants and layered them over a turtleneck and chain. He donned his customary fedora and decided “you know what will set this off? Black and white Jordans.”
It’s all … a lot. A resting point between paisan and St. Patrick’s Day reveler. And, needless to say, the internet couldn’t get enough.
