Darrelle Shavar Revis (born July 14, 1985) is an American former professionalfootballcornerback who played in theNational Football League (NFL) for 11 seasons. A member of theNew York Jets for most of his career, Revis is considered one of the greatest cornerbacks of all time.[1][2][3][4][5] Due to his prowess and ability to shut down the best receiver of opposing teams, his spot on the field was nicknamed "Revis Island".[6]
Revis playedcollege football for thePittsburgh Panthers and was selected in the first round in the2007 NFL draft by the Jets, where he spent eight non-consecutive seasons. He also played one season each for theTampa Bay Buccaneers,New England Patriots, andKansas City Chiefs. During his career, he was named to sevenPro Bowls and four-time first-teamAll-Pros, and wonSuper Bowl XLIX with the Patriots. He was inducted to thePro Football Hall of Fame in 2023.
Revis attendedAliquippa High School inAliquippa, Pennsylvania. His high school accolades includedPittsburgh Tribune-Review 2003 Player of the Year,Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 2003 WPIAL Class AA Player of the Year, and 2003Pittsburgh Post-Gazette “Fabulous 22”.[citation needed]
In thePennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Class AA State Championship football game, he led Aliquippa to a come-from-behind 32–27 win over Northern Lehigh by scoring five touchdowns, including three rushing touchdowns, a punt return, and the return of a blocked Northern Lehigh field goal attempt. He also completed a 39-yard pass, had a reception, and an interception in the game.[7]
In his junior and senior years of high school, Revis led Aliquippa toWestern Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League (WPIAL) basketball championships, leading the team in scoring both years, culminating with a 25.2 PPG average his senior season. He also had the most interceptions out of any cornerback in high school.[citation needed] Intrack & field, Revis ran on the Quips' WPIAL Class AA champion4 × 100 metres relay team that placed third at the state championships.[8]
Revis attended theUniversity of Pittsburgh, and played for thePittsburgh Panthers football team.[9] He earned first-team freshmanAll-America honors his 2004 freshman campaign. Revis played all 12 games, and started 11 of those 12. Revis tied for fifth on the team with 49 tackles, tied for team lead with 12 broken-up passes, and second on the team with 14 defended passes. Revis also had two interceptions. The most important of the two interceptions was against theWest Virginia Mountaineers, when he intercepted a late pass that set up the Panthers' game-winning drive. Revis also had a career-high seven tackles against theBoston College Eagles. With Pitt leading 17–10, the Boston College Eagles elected to go for it late in the fourth on fourth-and-goal. The pass got to the one-yard line, but Revis hit the receiver and stopped him from getting the score.
Revis's sophomore season in 2005 was another excellent campaign. Revis earned first-team All-Big East at cornerback. Revis led the Panthers with four interceptions and was second on the team with 13 defended passes. Revis was ranked second in the Big East with two recovered fumbles. Revis had a 79-yard punt return for a score against theCincinnati Bearcats, and blocked a field goal against theConnecticut Huskies which was returned for the score. Revis also had an interception and totaled 119 punt return yards against theRutgers Scarlet Knights.[10]
Revis's final year at Pitt, his 2006 junior campaign, was where he established himself on the national stage. He was a candidate for theJim Thorpe Award andBronko Nagurski Trophy at the end of the season. Revis recorded interceptions against theVirginia Cavaliers and Cincinnati, which were both taken back for touchdowns.
During the 2006Backyard Brawl game with rival West Virginia, Revis made a dynamic, 73-yard punt return, while breaking several tackles, and finally scoring a touchdown late in the second quarter. The key block to spring him, by Pitt wide receiverDerek Kinder, took out two Mountaineers. The play was nominated for "Best Play" at the 2007ESPY Awards and was voted the best College Football Play of the Year.[11]
On January 10, 2007, Revis announced he would forgo hissenior year at Pittsburgh to enter the2007 NFL draft.[12] He was considered one of the top three cornerbacks available, along withLeon Hall ofMichigan andAaron Ross ofTexas,[13] and was one of 30 drafted.[14] He received an invitation to theNFL Scouting Combine however, he participated in meetings with NFL teams but was unable to show his skills during drills due to suffering a strained hamstring.[15] Revis impressed scouts at Pittsburgh'sPro Day, impressing them with his40-yard dash, a main concern scouts had prior to him completing the test.[15]Teryl Austin, theArizona Cardinals'defensive backscoach at the time stated, "nobody went away disappointed."[15] Revis was touted byESPN analystLen Pasquarelli as having "terrific coverage techniques".[16]

New York Jets scoutTerry Bradway was impressed by Revis' workout but was concerned by the level of competition Pittsburgh played, asLouisville'sMario Urrutia was the toughest receiver Revis faced during the season.[19] Despite this concern, the organization was so impressed by hisman and zone coverage techniques and his ability toplay therun that they decided to trade up for him in the draft.[19] Originally, New York discussed trading draft selections with theHouston Texans who had the 10th overall pick; however, when the deal fell through,[19] they traded their first, second and fifth round picks to theCarolina Panthers, moving from 25th overall to 14th overall, to select Revis.[20][21]
Revis missed the first 21 days oftraining camp while his agents negotiated a contract.[22] At one point, Revis' mother was flown in from Pittsburgh to help expedite the negotiation process.[23] On August 15, 2007, the Jets came to an agreement with Revis. The 47-page contract was worth approximately $36 million over five years according to ESPN writerJohn Clayton.[23]
Head coachEric Mangini expected Revis to contribute immediately citing his abilities on defense and special teams. He likened Revis' talents to that ofTy Law, who was once described as a "shutdown" cornerback.[24][25] Revis made hispreseason debut against theNew York Giants on August 25, 2007, after less than a week of practice. In his debut, he recorded five tackles and one pass defended against receiverSinorice Moss and had one punt return for 13 yards.[26] Revis was named the starting cornerback for the Jets at the end of the preseason, becoming the first Jets rookie cornerback to start sinceRay Mickens in 1996.[27]
In his first game against theNew England Patriots, Revis recorded 7 tackles and heldWes Welker to 6 catches for 61 yards in the 38–14 loss.[28] He recorded the first interception of his career against the division-rivalBuffalo Bills during their week 8 matchup. Revis would show great progression throughout the season, remaining as the Jets' solid starter and one of their best defensive players. Starting all 16 games, Revis ended his rookie season with 87 total tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, and 3 interceptions.[29] Revis made the PFWA 2007 All-Rookie Team during his rookie campaign.[30]
The Jets opened theseason with a match-up against theMiami Dolphins. Revis, the established starter, intercepted former JetChad Pennington's pass in the end zone with five seconds remaining in the game to preserve the Jets' 20–14 victory.[31] A week later, Revis heldPatriots wide receiverRandy Moss to two catches for 22 yards.[32] Mangini praised Revis' attention to detail and perfecting the flaws of his game.[32][33] The following week, the Jets faced theArizona Cardinals with wide receiversLarry Fitzgerald andAnquan Boldin. He intercepted twoKurt Warner passes, one of which he returned 32 yards for a touchdown, the first of his NFL career.[34]
Despite his performance alongside All-Pro safetyKerry Rhodes, the Jets' pass defense was ranked 28th[35] which prompted coachEric Mangini to sign free agent All-Pro cornerback and former New York JetTy Law in November.[36] Though the addition of Law was made to bolster the Jets' pass defense, the pass defense continued to struggle and would rank 29th overall by season's end in spite of Revis' positive performance.[37] Revis' side of the field was known not to be tested as teams instead chose to attack rookie cornerbackDwight Lowery.[38]
For his efforts, Revis was elected to the2009 Pro Bowl. During the Pro Bowl, Revis intercepted a pass intended forAnquan Boldin with one hand.[39][40]
Revis has become the NFL's preeminent lockdown cornerback, drawing comparisons toDeion Sanders andRod Woodson and propelling the Jets' defense to the top of the charts.

Revis started off the 2009 season matched up against some of football's best wide receivers. In week 1, he helped limitHouston Texans Pro-bowlerAndre Johnson to four receptions for 35 yards.[41] Revis later facedTom Brady and theNew England Patriots, when he matched up against another Pro-bowl receiver,Randy Moss, and limited him to four receptions and 24 yards after catching 14 passes for 141 yards the week prior. Revis also had an interception against Brady, helping the Jets defense to be the first team since 2006 to stop the Patriots from scoring a touchdown.[42] In week 11 Revis held Moss to limited yards although he did give up a touchdown to Moss.[43]Week 5 against theMiami Dolphins was the only other blemish on Revis’ season, as he was beaten by wide receiverTed Ginn Jr. for a 53-yard touchdown reception onMonday Night Football, during the Jets 31–27 week 5 loss to the Dolphins.[44]
Former Jets head coachRex Ryan stated on several occasions that he thinks Revis is the "best" cornerback in the NFL, and that he is also the best cornerback he's worked with, in all of his years of coaching defenses.NFL Total Access ranked him as the No. 3 cornerback in the league on a Best In The Biz list before the '09 season kicked off. Deion Sanders also said "Revis is going to be the best corner in the game for years."[45]
Revis ended the year winning a Pro Bowl spot, and earned major respect inside and outside the league.[46] In week 17 (the NFL's last regular season week), he locked upCincinnati Bengals receiverChad Ochocinco, preventing Ochocinco from making a single reception, in part because a win would not advance Cincinnati to a higher playoff seed, and also because Ochocinco left the game with an injured knee. The Jets won the game 37–0, their second shutout, and third 'defensive' shutout.[47] The victory qualified the Jets for the postseason, and the two teams met up again six days later in the first round. During the Jets' 24–14 victory over the Bengals, Revis again shut down Ochocinco, limiting him to two catches for 28 yards and collecting an interception.[48]
This, in my opinion, was the best year a corner has ever had, the most impact a corner has ever had in the National Football League. That's my opinion. Apparently, that wasn't how everybody felt. A number that I think would be interesting would be eight, and no, that’s not the amount of touchdown passes that Green Bay (Woodson's team) gave up against Arizona. That is the number of touchdown passes we gave up all season, and the biggest reason for that is Darrelle Revis.[49]
In the second week of the playoffs, Revis and the Jets defeated theAFC's #2 seedSan Diego Chargers, 17–14. Since the Chargers had a large variety of well acclaimed receivers, Revis was forced to cover most of them, yet San Diego quarterbackPhilip Rivers only threw the ball to a receiver covered by Revis three times during the entire game. Two of the three were tipped away by Revis for an incomplete pass, and the third was an interception. His interception was made diving to the ground to catch a ball that was deflected off the shoe of Chargers'wide receiverVincent Jackson. Revis' interception changed the momentum of the game and was instrumental in the Jets' 17–14 victory.[50] The win led the Jets to the AFC Championship game against theIndianapolis Colts, their first trip to the AFC Championship since 1998. The Jets lost 30–17, due to a lack of scoring in the second half (0 points), and poor secondary playing, with the exception of Revis himself, who only allowed 2 receptions.[51]
Revis lost in the Defensive Player of the Year voting toCharles Woodson, 28–14.[52]
Revis missed the majority of training camp and all four of the team's preseason contests while holding out for a new contract. He was to receive approximately $1 million in the fourth year of a six-year contract.[53] On September 5, an agreement was reached on a four-year $32 million guaranteed contract, and Revis subsequently reported to camp the next day, a week before the team's season opener.[54][55]
During the team's week 2 matchup against theNew England Patriots, after getting beaten for a deep touchdown by Randy Moss, Revis left the game with what was later revealed to be a strained hamstring.[56] Revis would miss two weeks of the season.[57][58] Revis reaggravated the hamstring following the team's matchup against theMinnesota Vikings.[59] On October 17, 2010, Revis was activated two hours prior to kickoff against theDenver Broncos and started the game.[60] The Jets headed into a bye week following their victory over Denver thus allowing Revis to rehab his hamstring.[61] Revis has since declared himself to be 100 percent.[61]
During the 2011AFC Wild Card Round, Revis heldIndianapolis Colts wide receiverReggie Wayne to one catch for a yard in a victory over the Colts. The Jets went on to defeat the New England Patriots in theDivisional Round but would lose to thePittsburgh Steelers in theAFC Championship. Revis finished the year with 32 tackles but did not record an interception in 13 games.[62][63] He was ranked eighth by his fellow players on theNFL Top 100 Players of 2011.[64]

The Jets opened their 2011 season against theDallas Cowboys on September 11, 2011. The game was played atMetLife Stadium onSunday Night Football on the ten-year anniversary of theSeptember 11 attacks. The Jets were tied with the Cowboys 24–24 in the final minutes when Revis intercepted aTony Romo pass intended forDez Bryant to put the Jets in field goal range.Nick Folk converted the game-winning field goal to give the Jets the win 27–24.[65] In week 6, the Jets were playing the Dolphins with a 2–3 record in what some considered a must win game. Revis intercepted a pass intended forBrandon Marshall and ran it back 100 yards for a touchdown on October 17, 2011, tying the longest interception return in Jets history, first set byAaron Glenn in 1996. Later in the same game against theMiami Dolphins, he intercepted anotherMatt Moore pass in the fourth quarter to preserve the Jets' victory with a score of 24–6.[66] On Sunday, October 23, 2011, the Jets were playing theSan Diego Chargers. In the fourth quarter, the Jets were down 21–17 and the Chargers had the ball in Jets territory when Darrelle Revis intercepted a pass intended forVincent Jackson which was deflected right into the hands of Revis. Later on in the driveMark Sanchez would complete a touchdown pass toPlaxico Burress, his 3rd of the game. The Jets would win 27–21.[67] After 13 games, the Jets were 8–5 going on a 3-game winning streak and looking to make the playoffs for 3 straight years. But the Jets would lose their next 3 games and miss the playoffs by 1 game with a record of 8–8. After the season it came out that the Jets locker room was having problems.[68] Revis ended the year with 52 tackles and 4 interceptions and was elected to his fourth Pro Bowl and third All-Pro team.[69] He was ranked fifth by his fellow players on theNFL Top 100 Players of 2012.[70]
Revis entered the2012 season hinting that he may not attend training camp, with the hope of reworking his contract. Despite the uncertainty regarding his contract status, Revis attended training camp.[71] The Jets' season opener was played against theBuffalo Bills on September 9, 2012. Revis intercepted aRyan Fitzpatrick pass which set up aMark Sanchez touchdown on the ensuing drive. The Jets would go on to defeat the Bills 48–28.[72] Revis recorded five tackles in addition to the interception but was taken out of the game in the fourth quarter after teammateBart Scott accidentally hit Revis in the head with his knee while Revis was still on the ground. Revis was diagnosed with a mild concussion and subsequently ruled out for week 2 against thePittsburgh Steelers.[73] He returned the following week against theMiami Dolphins where he recovered a fumble but later left the game with an undisclosed knee injury.[74] AnMRI taken the following day revealed Revis suffered atorn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and would be out for the remainder of the season.[75] He was placed on injured reserve on October 12, 2012.[76] He was ranked 67th by his fellow players on theNFL Top 100 Players of 2013.[77]
On April 21, 2013, Revis was traded to theTampa Bay Buccaneers in exchange for the Buccaneers' 2013 first round pick (13th overall, used onSheldon Richardson) and a 2014 fourth round conditional pick, which could become a third round pick.[78]
Going to Tampa is great. I look at it as a new chapter in my football career. The organization is great. It’s real laid back down there. It’s not a lot of pressure as it is in New York.[79]
Revis flew a private jet to travel toTampa, Florida for an official physical. After being examined by team doctors, including head team orthopedist John Zvijac and director of sports medicine Todd Toriscelli, Revis was deemed healthy.[80]
The Jets gave Revis permission to visit the Buccaneers on Sunday morning after reaching an agreement with Tampa Bay on the transaction. Revis was successful in getting one of the biggest contracts in the NFL, in line with other elite players such as defensive endMario Williams (six years, $96 million), wide receiversCalvin Johnson (eight years, $132 million) andLarry Fitzgerald (eight years, $113 million) received.[81] Revis' 6-year deal was worth $96 million, making him the highest paid defensive back in NFL history,[78] however there was no guaranteed money included.
Revis made his debut with the Buccaneers on September 8, 2013, playing against his former team, theNew York Jets.[82] He had his first interception as a Buccaneer on September 29, against theArizona Cardinals. On December 27, Revis was selected to his fifth Pro Bowl, his first with Tampa Bay.[83] After the season, he was named SN Comeback Player Of The Year. During his first and only season with Tampa Bay, Revis started all 16 games with a sack, 2 interceptions, 11 passes defended, 2 forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, and 50 tackles.[84] He was ranked 37th by his fellow players on theNFL Top 100 Players of 2014.[85]
Despite Revis' outstanding season, he was not an ideal fit for Tampa Bay's defensive system. WhenLovie Smith was hired to replaceGreg Schiano, he brought hisTampa 2 defense with him, a zone defense that is focused on an elite middle linebacker, not a shutdown corner. Revis, being an elite man-to-man cornerback, was rumored to be on the trade bloc because of his large $16 million salary for the 2014 season.
On March 12, 2014, the Bucs released Revis after several failed attempts to trade him, making him an unrestricted free agent for the first time of his career.[86]

On March 12, 2014, within hours of being released by the Buccaneers, Revis signed a 1-year contract worth $12 million with theNew England Patriots, with the salary cap hit spread over two years.[87] In Revis's first and only season in New England, he had 47 tackles, 2 interceptions, 14 passes defended, and 1 forced fumble.[88] He was once again named to the Pro Bowl, his sixth overall selection, as well as his first first-team All-Pro selection since 2011, his fourth overall.[89][90] The Patriots finished the season 12–4.[91]
In thedivisional round playoff game against theBaltimore Ravens, Revis had 2 pass interference calls against wide receiverSteve Smith Sr. The Patriots would go on to win the game 35–31 and advance to the AFC Championship game. In theAFC Championship game, Revis recorded an interception onAndrew Luck and the Patriots went on to defeat theIndianapolis Colts 45–7.[92]
This marked Revis's first trip to theSuper Bowl. The Patriots faced theSeattle Seahawks inSuper Bowl XLIX on February 1, 2015, and won 28–24. Revis tallied a sack and a tackle in the game.[93]
After the season, the Patriots did not pick up a $20-million option in Revis's contract to bring him back for a second year.[94] He was ranked 17th by his fellow players on theNFL Top 100 Players of 2015.[95]
The Jets signed Revis to a five-year, $70 million contract with $39 million guaranteed on March 10, 2015.[96][97] The Jets were, however, the subject of investigation intotampering after charges were filed by the Patriots. Jets ownerWoody Johnson made comments about Revis, who was still under contract with New England at the time.[98] Johnson was fined $100,000; however, the Jets' counter-investigation into Patriots owner Robert Kraft's comments about Revis upon re-signing with New York was dismissed by the league.[99] Revis sustained a concussion against the Houston Texans on November 22, 2015.[100] He was named to his seventh Pro Bowl and was ranked 24th on theNFL Top 100 Players of 2016.[101][102] In 14 games of 2015, Revis finished with 39 tackles, five interceptions, and nine passes defended.[103]
The 2016 season was one of Revis' worst outings, with opposing quarterback ratings recorded at 91.7 compared to 59.3 his previous years. He finished 2016 playing 15 games with 53 tackles, five passes defended, and one interception.[104]
On February 28, 2017, the Jets announced that Revis would be released at the start of free agency on March 9, 2017.[105]

On November 22, 2017, Revis signed a two-year, $11 million contract with theKansas City Chiefs.[106] On February 8, 2018, Revis was released by the Chiefs after only playing six games for the team, including the playoffs.[107][108]
On July 18, 2018, Revis announced his retirement from the NFL after 11 seasons.[109] On July 24, theNew York Jets held a mini celebration honoring Revis for his retirement. The Jets made a miniature makeshift "Revis" island for his retirement.[110]

New York Jets franchise records

Revis is the nephew of former NFL defensive tackleSean Gilbert.[112] Revis has a daughter and a son.[113] In December 2012, Darrelle released his own shoe, the Nike Zoom Revis, which is available in various colors. Revis was a friend of Pittsburgh rapperMac Miller.[114] Revis is the cousin ofTampa Bay BuccaneerssafetyJordan Whitehead.[115]
On February 16, 2017, Revis was involved in a street brawl in Pittsburgh around 2:40 a.m. Revis was suspected to have attacked two men, knocking them unconscious. One follower attempted to record Revis on a cell phone, prompting Revis to snatch the phone and throw it out at the street. That night, Revis was charged for aggravated assault, robbery, terroristic threats and conspiracy stemming from the incident.[116] Revis turned himself into police the following day and was released on non-monetary bond.[117] All charges were dismissed March 15 after a friend of Revis testified that he was responsible for knocking the two men out.[118][119]
