MILWAUKEE – This morning, on the anniversary of the game when he went viral, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled the first bobblehead of sports agent, author, and motivational speaker Sean Stellato. Stellato was shown by ABC’s cameras multiple times during the Monday Night Football game between the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers on December 11th, 2023, at MetLife Stadium when his client and rookie quarterback, Tommy DeVito, was in the process of leading the Giants to their third consecutive victory in dramatic fashion.

Stellato is the founder of Stellato Sports, a multi-faceted sports representation and marketing agency that represents clients including Tommy DeVito who led the Giants to a 24-22 victory over the Packers that night and generating a ton of buzz for the quarterback and his agent. The bobblehead is being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum in conjunction with Sean Stellato.

Standing on a football field base bearing his name, the smiling Stellato bobblehead is decked out in a black pinstripe suit, matching fedora – his signature accessory – and a gold chain. It is the same outfit that made him an internet celebrity when he was shown by ABC’s cameras multiple times during the Monday Night Football game between the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers on December 11th, 2023, at MetLife Stadium. The bobbleheads will be individually numbered and are only available through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store. The bobbleheads, which are expected to ship in April, cost $30 each, plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.

Raised in Salem, Massachusetts, and now residing in Marblehead with his family, the 46-year-old Stellato was a standout two-sport athlete in high school who went on to play collegiately at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York. After spending two years as a wide receiver in the Arena Football League, Stellato eventually went into finance and served as a high school coach before becoming an agent and founding Stellato Sports in 2013. He currently represents 26 current and former NFL players and coaches. Stellato is the author of two books, “4th and Long The Odds: My Journey” and “No Backing Down,” about his life and sports. A charismatic and engaging motivational speaker, Stellato stresses that greatness is shaped in times of adversity.

On December 11th, 2023, Stellato became an instant internet celebrity when his client, Tommy DeVito, a rookie quarterback out of the University of Illinois, led the Giants to a 24-22 victory over the Packers on Monday Night Football. Sitting in the stands, Stellato was wearing the same black pinstripe suit he wore when DeVito went undrafted in the NFL draft. When the cameras cut to Stellato hugging and kissing DeVito’s family, announcers Joe Buck and Troy Aikman had fun with the moment. “This guy, the agent, may break the internet,” Buck said. In an interview with the Salem News after the game, DeVito called Stellato “the Italian Stallion of sports agents. … Sean is always in my corner and will do whatever it takes to help me with my career, on and off the field.”

Four days after the MNF game that propelled him into the spotlight, Stellato was inducted into the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame in Chicago as part of their 44th annual class. Previously, Stellato was inducted into the Massachusetts Italian American Sports Hall of Fame and Salem High School Hall of Fame in 2013, he was honored with the Moynihan Lumber Post Graduate Achievement Award in 2014, and he was featured on the October cover of North Shore magazine as one of their “Movers and Shakers” in 2016.

Sean will be donating a portion of any revenue generated from the sales of his bobblehead to the Arthritis Foundation in honor of his daughter, Gianna, who is a daily inspiration to him in her constant battle with juvenile arthritis. When asked about getting a bobblehead, Sean said, “So excited to join the tremendous list of talent that is part of the National Bobblehead family of Bobbleheads. I hope everyone enjoys the great work the company did creating my bobblehead.”

“We’re excited to unveil this bobblehead of Sean Stellato – the most stylish agent in the NFL,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “Sean became a social media sensation during the 2023 season when his client, Tommy DeVito, led the New York Giants to a victory over the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. This bobblehead is sure to be a must-have for fans of the most popular agent in the NFL!”
