Revis is one of a few examples in the NFL that stats don't always reflect greatness. Sure, sure, a great QB or RB will have the stats to show it. Revis might not have 70 interceptions, but that's because QBs stopped throwing anywhere near him.

Revis and deion are the 2 best dbs ever, thus far..... and that's respect to everyone else because there have been some amazing players at the position over the history.

I remember watching a handful of these highlights when they were new and he was it back then! Looking back now, he is one of the best ever. Crazy to watch this still today.

He's the main reason why I truly fell in love with the Jets. My father has always rooted for the Jets since the Curtis Martin days, and I always considered myself as a Jets fan since then. But seeing how different Revis played against the best receivers in the league was an eye opening experience for me. Greatest Jet of all-time imo.

About to be 25 years old and been watching football since I was 9-10ish. Grew up a fan of both the Jets and Giants because my dad was a Jets fan and all my cousins were Giants fans, this guy and Eli Manning were my childhood favorite players (also big brother Peyton). So glad he is a first ballot Hall of Famer, GOAT man to man corner. From Moss & TO to Megatron and Larry Fitz, none of them were safe from a vacation on Revis Island.

Imagine if he had hands...By far the best DB of his generation, and a joy to watch his craft during his time.

The playoff game against the Chargers in '09......he made me literally forget who the other receiver was.

Been waiting for a video of him

The thing that always stood out to me about the truly great players was their willful disregard for their own well-being in an effort to extend their bodies to make a big play. They are simply thinking about winning the battle above all personal desires.

People don't understand, back in 09, '10 he WAS the Jets defense, especially in Rex's system. He would follow the other teams number 1 and virtual eliminate them from the game and rex would roll the rest of the coverage to other receivers while sending the house on a blitz. It was crude but effective ONLY with a player like Revis. Once he was gone, Rex's defense also went with him. It was truly a treat watching Revis eliminate so many big names from being effective week after week: Moss, Steve Smith, Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Terrell Owens...the lists goes on. Stats don't tell the whole story. Teams just stopped throwing to his side which cuts the field and a QB's options for the rest of the game.

“A lot of guys are content with just being great, but Darrelle wanted to be the best. One day we’re going to sit down and say that this was the best Jet in the history of the New York Jet franchise, I truly believe that. And i also think we’re going to see him in Canton one day” - Rex Ryan on Darrelle Revis in 2011

What set Revis apart from so many other CBs was his awareness. Not only did he have the technique to play the position, but he had the awareness to make the play before the play happens. Not like every CB you see nowadays who yeah, could be on a receiver like glue, but won't take his eyes off the receiver and still fails to rip the ball outta his hands. Sad to see all the bum ass CBs in the game today

Revis was created, he had this Safety body and physicality, also a true cover corner. Never panicked on a deep ball. 🐐

He wasn't a big cb but man he sure played like one, super smart guy! Well deserved to be in the hof

Only if you had Randy Moss being man to man covered by Darrelle Revis would you even think about throwing to that side of the field. Anyone else you can forget it because Revis was going to make throwing the football to whichever side of the field he was on exponentially difficult with his agility and athleticism at the corner position.

Nah or Steve Smith

He played against my high school in the PIAA AA state Championship back in 2003. You can find the whole game on here by searching "Aliquippa Football vs Northern Lehigh" (youtube keeps removing links from comments). Was a great game that came down to the last possession. Aliquippa was stacked, but Revis was on another level. My obscure little farm boy high school put up a great fight against a consistent state championship contender and a future hall of famer but came up just short. Great player.

From the eye test it is clear that he's the greatest db ever and I'm a big Sanders fan. Dude was a legit nightmare for all routes a receiver could try.

If you notice in videos he’s always on the opposite teams number one, getting thrown in the fire every week and dominating. Biggest corner domination since Deion Sanders.

Glad he got a ring with the Patriots. Best corner I've ever seen.

His greatest accomplishment is making the H.O.F having played for the Jets in his prime. Jets have been where careers go to die before they get started.

Best corner that’s ever played the game. Got to a point in his career that QBs would just stop throwing his way all together. Dominant.

Pass deflection stats weren't tracked in those years.

watching this just reminds me of how great nfl defenses used to be. Revis was a great corner & last true lockdown corner but i miss the elite defenses.

This is why I was shocked that New England didn't try to snatch him up immediately in the '08 draft he would have been the successor to Ty Law.

The best corner of my generation and there isn’t a close second. Rex Ryan simply lined him up against whatever teams best receiver and Revis would proceed to make their lives hell for 60 minutes. The last true shut down corner we have seen.
