DeVito is the favorite to back up Drake Maye in 2026, ahead of rookie seventh-round pick Behren Morton. After making eight starts for the Giants across the 2023 and 2024 campaigns (3-5 record, 8:3 TD:INT), DeVito spent the 2025 season as New England's No. 3 signal-caller. The Patriots released veteran backup Joshua Dobbs in the offseason while re-signing DeVito to a two-year, $7.4 million deal, opening the door for DeVito to ascend to the second spot on the QB depth chart for his age-28 season if he can hold off Morton.
