New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito might just disagree with Mark Schlereth about where Aaron Rodgers stands in the all-time ranking of NFL quarterbacks. DeVito believes that the New York Jets quarterback is No. 1.
The comments from DeVito came after a very hot take from Schlereth last week about Rodgers.
A former NFL offensive lineman, Schlereth is now an analyst with Fox Sports. During a recent podcast, Schlereth said Rodgers is not among the best QBs of all time.
In fact, he said Rodgers would be “sitting at the kids table.”
At the ESPY Awards last week, reporter Joey Mistretta asked DeVito if there are any quarterbacks that he tries to play like or emulate. (The audio is not great because of background noise at the show.)
“Aaron Rodgers is my GOAT. I watch a lot of football,” DeVito said.
DeVito continued with the praise, saying “Aaron Rodgers is a magician, an artist with the football.”

If Rodgers is healthy this season, the Jets are expected to end their playoff drought.
DeVito said playing against Rodgers and the Jets was extra motivation for him given how much he respects the future Hall of Famer.
