Eagles’ Dom DiSandro Delivers Philly Hospitality to Injured Giants Rookie
In a gesture that transcends NFL rivalries, Philadelphia Eagles senior advisor Dom DiSandro visited New York Giants rookie Cam Skattebo in the hospital, delivering a taste of Philadelphia with pizza and cheesesteaks. The heartwarming act, reported by NFL insider Adam Schefter, has gone viral, showcasing sportsmanship amid the fierce Eagles-Giants divide.
The Injury That Sparked the Visit
The moment traces back to the Eagles-Giants Week 18 matchup at MetLife Stadium, where Skattebo—an undrafted fullback—suffered a lower-body injury on a special teams play. DiSandro, also the Eagles’ chief security officer, was seen checking on Skattebo as he was carted off. Post-game, DiSandro contacted Skattebo’s family to arrange the visit, proving rivalry takes a backseat to compassion.
A Philly Feast in the Hospital
True to his roots, DiSandro arrived with a spread of Pat’s King of Steaks cheesesteaks and pizzas, lifting spirits for Skattebo, his family, and hospital staff. Skattebo later shared a photo on social media, captioning: “Big thanks to Dom for the love and the eats! Rivalry on the field, family off it. #Respect.”
NFL Community Reacts
The act drew widespread praise:
– Giants coach Brian Daboll: “That’s what this league is about—respect beyond the game.”
– Eagles’ Jalen Hurts: “Dom’s the heartbeat of this team. Proud to call him a brother.”
Fans dubbed it “cheesesteak diplomacy” and celebrated the “human side of football.”
DiSandro: A Unifying Force in the NFL
Known as “Big Dom,” DiSandro has long been a bridge between players, coaches, and security. His leadership shone in 2023 when he de-escalated a sideline altercation, and this visit further solidifies his reputation for fostering respect in a competitive league.
A Lesson in Rivalry and Respect
While the Eagles-Giants rivalry will rage on, DiSandro’s gesture is a reminder that sportsmanship outlasts the game. As Skattebo recovers, this moment stands as a testament to the NFL’s humanity.
