Sean Stellato, the agent of New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito, made a radio appearance on “Boomer and Gio” on Tuesday to discuss his client’s rise to prominence, as well as the nickname assigned to him by Peyton Manning, and other viral moments from Monday night’s game.

“I’m good, I’m blessed,” Stellato said. “I always say too blessed to be stressed. It was a great night.”

DeVito helped the Giants defeat the Packers 24-22 by orchestrating a remarkable late fourth-quarter drive that resulted in a game-winning field goal.

“It’s all about Tommy,” Stellato explained. “Tommy and I are very proud Italian Americans. We want to represent our culture in a positive way, and sometimes you have fun with it… we had a little fun with it last night.”

During ESPN’s alternate Monday night broadcast, Manning assigned Stellato the nickname “slimy” while giving commentary on televised footage of the agent. Stellato found humor in the Hall of Fame quarterback’s wit, but claimed to have never been called by that nickname before.

“I don’t know if that’s just him being a southern dude. I look at it as elegant,” Stellato said. “I don’t know where ‘slimy’ comes from… but if Peyton wants to challenge me in a 40-yard dash, I’d be happy to do that.”

“I never heard that nickname in my life… I think he might watch too much ‘Goodfellas.'”

Stellato’s Monday night appearance went viral on social media, as the agent donned a black pinstripe suit with a matching fedora hat, and was seen kissing DeVito’s father on the cheek while celebrating the Giants’ victory in the stands.

In spite of DeVito’s performance that has since made him the talk of New York City, Stellato believes his client has more in the tank.

“Tommy hasn’t really scratched the surface of what he’s gonna become,” Stellato said. “He’s driven, and he’s focused to get ready for next week against New Orleans.”
