The Story in Brief
New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel has replaced quarterback Tommy DeVito's famous nickname 'Tommy Cutlets' with 'Two Chains', the New York Post reports. Vrabel began using the new moniker after noticing DeVito always wears two gold chains. "'Two Chains' is doing a nice job," Vrabel said Tuesday.
DeVito became a fan favourite during his time with the Giants, where his mother's chicken cutlets inspired the original nickname. The 28-year-old said the change happened naturally inside the Patriots' building. He spent last season as New England's third-string quarterback and is expected to back up Drake Maye this year.
The Indian Opinion
American sports media loves a feel-good nickname, and 'Tommy Cutlets' gave them one tied to family and Italian-American identity. Now that New England coach Mike Vrabel has swapped it for 'Two Chains' because of DeVito's jewellery, some fans mourn the old branding. Yet a player's job is production, not persona. The real test will be whether DeVito, settling into a backup role, can earn a new moniker based on his play rather than his accessories.
