Giants rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito has taken the NFL by storm over the last several weeks, thanks to his play and online popularity. The signal-caller is a New Jersey native and NFL fans love how he embraces his Italian heritage—including his signature celebration using a hand gesture made especially popular within the Italian community.
Saints defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon, is also a big fan of the celebration, apparently. The big man made it his own when he sacked DeVito during their Week 15 matchup to start the second quarter.
Kpassagnon bull-rushed down the middle of the New York offensive line and wrapped up DeVito to register his first sack of the day before hitting him with his version of the finger purse celebration.

Since taking over the starting role for New York, DeVito has tallied 855 passing yards and eight touchdowns with just three interceptions. The Giants are 3–1 with DeVito starting and enter this weekend on a three-game winning streak. Both the Giants (5–8) and Saints (6–7) go into the Week 15 bout fighting for their postseason lives.
