Even if Tommy DeVito isn’t making headlines on the field, his agent, Sean Stellato, certainly is.
While Daniel Jones appears to have the edge as the starting quarterback for the New York Giants this season, Stellato has found himself in the spotlight for a unique and extraordinary reason. This week, Stellato had the remarkable experience of meeting the Pope in Vatican City, Italy.
Yes, you read that correctly.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Stellato presented the Pope with a custom football adorned with the Pontiff’s official coat of arms logo.
The meeting came about after Stellato was interviewed by social media personality Taylen Biggs on the red carpet at Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. During their conversation, Stellato, who was sporting Gucci python loafers, expressed his admiration for the Pope.
“It was a surreal moment,” Stellato said. “I was just extremely grateful to be in his presence and just having a moment where he looked me in the eyes, and I looked him in the eyes, and I could just feel his presence through my soul, every part of me, my entire DNA, and then just sharing knowledge, wisdom, and his passion for sports.”

While DeVito was thrust into action due to injuries to Daniel Jones and backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor, he performed admirably. DeVito went 3-3 as the starter, passing for 1,101 yards and eight touchdowns against only three interceptions.
His standout moment came in December when he led a game-winning drive against the playoff-bound Green Bay Packers on national television.
Off the field, Stellato has become an overnight sensation. His all-black fashion statements, moxie, and unbridled enthusiasm have made him a favorite of the cameras.
His presence in the stands, combined with his unique style and charisma, has captivated audiences and made him a figure of intrigue.
Stellato’s recent meeting with the Pope has only added to his growing legend. The extraordinary encounter highlights his ability to make connections and create memorable moments, both within the world of sports and beyond.
As the Giants gear up for the season, the off-field narratives surrounding Stellato and his memorable experiences continue to capture the public’s imagination.
His dynamic personality and unexpected adventures, like meeting the Pope, add a fascinating layer to the ongoing saga of the Giants and their players.
