I feel like megatrons whole career was his prime
i mean he did retire early so yeah
It kinda was really
@Human Peeing All of these are very true
@Human Peeing Seahawks were a running team until Russel Wilson got there. Wouldn't of helped him that much
@Human Peeing that wouldnt really change much on the injury side. he woulda been a top wr no matter where he played and opposing teams would have still targeted his legs because of his size. same thing that happened with rob gronkowski,he was in the perfect place but opposing players targetting his legs caused too many injuries to just carry on from.
Let’s just take a moment to remember that Mark Sanchez took the Jets to back to back AFC championship games
Let’s take a moment to appreciate your username.
Yes he was bad but he was a decent leader
I don’t think it was mark Sanchez that did that lol that’s like saying Blake bortles took the Jaguars to the AFC championship in 2017
@@Bro-ww9de and Garoppolo took the 49ers to the super bowl
Let’s just take a moment to remember that jay cutler took the bears to the nfc championship game
It's insane how Revis never won a DPOY with how dominant he was.
He got robbed when they gave it to Woodson
@@footba11fan41ife Woodson was doing it all that year he definitely deserved it
Nah I remember that same season thinking the same thing but woodson was shut down on defense (period)
On The run game and pass game
@@Anthony-mc3ep lol revis did it all that yr too. He was a zone corner he didnt follow the opponents best WR. Come on bruh... Im a woodson fan too but they robbed revis.
Lol he was pass interfering the whole game
The 2007 draft class is hella underrated: joe Thomas, Calvin Johnson, Adrian Peterson and Derrelle revis all future HOF
About the same as 2004 completely over powered. Also 2017 draft was fire
@@DragRacer221x the 2011 class is probably the best class of all time
Also Patrick WIllis, Joe Staley, Eric Weddle and Beast Mode. That draft was full of studs
@@kingdan2164 That class didn't have the depth to be in that conversation. In fact, it was a legitimately awful class once you got past the top 17 or 18. The top of the draft, however, was fire.
JaMarcus Russell #1 overall my raiders 💀
Revis’ prime was kind of short, but he was absolutely amazing during it. He probably had the best season for a CB ever
All CBs have a short prime
But also Revis was a Top 3 CB for like 5-7 years thats very very good for a corner
@@paytonklein8861 aaron Donald been good for a bit
Edit:
stop roasting me I read the comment wrong
@@zitchzitch9524 cbs?
@@paytonklein8861 thats not true charles was in his prime for like 9-10 years
That end zone play is the perfect example of what Revis would do. He would control the receiver so they were always in the worst position to catch the football. They would be sandwiched between Revis and the sidelines so the QB just wouldn't throw the ball his direction. The most astonishing part of the stat line is Johnson only had four targets. I don't know for sure but he probably averaged over 10 targets per game that season.
Using numbers from football reference. He played 15 games and was targeted 137 times. This puts his targets per game around 9.1
That being said, Darrelle Revis had a 4 year peak before that nasty knee injury in 2012. Even then though, not being quite the same as he was, he appeared in 3 probowls afterwards. Even Revis at 80% what he was was still a top 10 corner in the league. Revis island is a prime vacation spot because you might as well relax, you aren't going to be doing anything anyways.
Yes that’s pretty crazy to think about.
Couldn’t of said it better myself. 💯💯💯
Revis might be the best all around cb to ever play. Unlike most top corners defensive scheme didn't really matter as he could play man 2 man or zone, he could also play left/right/nickel which most top corners don't do as they like to stay to one side or at least to the left or right. I will say though that Champ Bailey in his prime was insanely dangerous and I'd put him right up there with Revis when it comes to locking down the opponents best receivers.
Probably the best way to neutralize Revis was to do what the Pats did. get a bunch of nobody WRs out wide, force Revis to cover Welker in the slot where he can't use the sideline.
People forget how incredible Revis Island was. He really would shut down the best receivers in the game. His prime wasn't long due to injuries, but damn it was fun to watch.
no they haven't forgot, why do people say dumb things like this. and revis had a long, great career, what are you talking about?!
@@prufrok I think you need to learn comprehension. I didn't say he didn't have a long great career, I said he had a short prime due to injuries. He was the best CB in the game but only for like 4 years then injuries took their toll. And also people don't put him up there with the Deions and Rod and Charles Woodsons where he belongs. He gets overlooked.
His prime was short but amazing and this is coming from a dolphin fan !
Never seen anything like it. It’s like he knew the routes 😂😂
The fact that Revis held Randy Moss and Andre Johnson and T.O. To under 35 yards is absolutely insane growing up as a Texan fan Andre Johnson made everyone look like a rookie
Moss and TO we’re past their primes though
@@YurMuthurPS3 you still got Calvin and Andre Johnson that were the top 2 WR’s and they couldn’t do anything against him
Lol! Except Revis had to lie about a hammy after Moss torched his ass on the most beautiful one handed touchdown grab.
@@YurMuthurPS3 Actually Moss had his best statistical season as a Patriot. And Revis shut him down twice that season
He didn't do it to Steve Smith tho lol
Revis and Cromartie were a top 5 cornerback duo in History
i forgot about cromartie but he was so good too
Cromartie gave phillip rivers a run for his money with 11 kids lol
Revis and his other Corner was always Top 5 on the strength of 24
Revis and Browner was a better duo
@WorldFlex I'm also a pats fan
Revis was the only cb I ever seen lockdown Steve Smith in 14 years
Supa fax
That was because he had delhomme throwing to him...look at the interception he threw...it hit smith in the foot lol
Smith was a pitbull out there.
and no one locks down Shmitty
Revis didn’t just deflect those passes, the way he did was phenomenal as well
He's like a cat out there. Agility, speed, etc.
And when healthy, he would have picked one off! His leaping ability and catch up speed. Receivers were forced to play defense on a perfectly thrown ball!
4:40 was pass interference
@@stellarwind1946 it wasn't lol
@@jreev335 yeah it was, watch in slow motion, he was obviously there early.
This makes me sad. The Lions had one of the best running backs of all time and one of the best wide receivers of all time and they both just retired early
Used and abused...
not just the lions. most teams targeted gronks legs too and he is the goat TE and had to retire early and now is a shell of his former self with the bucs. then you have aj green,sky was the limit for him as a wr and a string of injuries has left him slower than tom brady. then you have andrew luck,considered a future top 5 qb on potential until his injuries led to a early retirement. luke keachly and ryan shazier. so many players are forced into early retirement and the nfl just acts like nothing happens. and ik they sign up for it and get paid millions before someone tries to use that as a counter argument,its the fact goodell and the nfl ignore it that annoys me.
@@xz9z29 you missed the entire point of his comment and then just started listing random injuries of stars who had nothing to do with anything. Detroit had two of the most explosive, dynamic, and generational talents at their respective positions and did nothing with it because the franchise is garbage and has never known how to supplement obvious superstars
@@RB-rk6qo they also had Stafford and look at what happened
Because they didn't want to continue losing on the NFL worst team for many years. Just like what's happening to the Texans with all their stat players leaving or demanding trades.
How does someone 6’5, 237lbs run a 4.33!? That’s wild 🤯
Im 6'3 and run a 4.18 and have an iq of 152 so that is much more impressive

He “mossed” Randy Moss
**A very old up randy moss
Like John said. But a younger and Prime Moss would’ve torched Revis. Even Dieon Sanders struggled against Moss and said was the hardest receiver that he had to cover.
@@christopherlee5902 I doubt it. There’s no difference in skill between Megatron and Moss. Not saying Moss couldn’t make a play or two on Revis but prime Revis is most likely shutting him down. Moss and Megatron in their primes are two of the most talented receivers ever. But I’m taking Revis in that matchup
Did you all miss that deep bomb touchdown over revis? Brady to moss. Revis got mossed.
@@christopherlee5902 deon said rice was the one he had more trouble covering
That deflected pass on the fade was a thing of beauty by Revis. That is legendary stuff right there.
Yes the way he held Calvin was amazing. Lol
That was the most impressive thing. That’s a rare play right there, don’t remember the last time I saw that. Let alone against Megatron
“Does he play for the pistons too?” He had mad respect for that 😂
Revis made cornerback my favorite position possibly in all sports. He was just must watch. Miss this 😟
Cause it's like WR but instead of getting hit you hit
Same. I tried to study all his tapes onCe I started playing HS football
revis is the one thing i can be proud of as a jets fan
As a Patriots him helping the Pats win a super bowl also makes him my favorite Jets player.
@@wraith41 tbh he didnt do much lol
@@JordiGaming1999 I know. I’m just taking the chance to rub it in a jets fans face that is favorite player won a Super Bowl with their biggest rivals.
@@wraith41 i know 😆. I still respect him kinda lol jk . He tainted his career with yall jk.
Al Toon? Freeman McNeil? Wayne and Keyshawn?
Revis has kinda been underrated since he’s retired. Dude shut down every great receiver in his era. Calvin and Moss are top 5 receivers all time and he held them to under 35 yards during one of their best years. Like c’mon only Deion and a handful of others can say that
Facts!
Underrated? He was the best for 4/5 years lol. My second best CB of all time
@@kingfargo9578 second best? The other all time great CBs that can be compared played when the league didn't completely hate the position
I wish Revis had a longer career. He was a joy to watch and players like him don't come around often.
This is why I say Revis was the greatest ever in his prime. He literally locked down every WR man to man, one on one, every play. He locked down Hall of Fame level WRs every week in his first tenure with the Jets
Half of those players he vs had a bad qb Ike half the time Matt was under throwing him like almost all of them and randy moss wasn't in his prime
@@dominickmayberr7729 stop with this nonsense. Revis's 2009 is one of the all time great performances of a CB in the history of the league. And the Randy Moss "wasn't in his prime" comment is especially ridiculous. He had 83 receptions for 1264 yards and 13 TDs in 2009. That's better production than Moss's 4th year in the league in 2001 (82 receptions, 1233 yards, 10 TDs). Moss was still playing at a very high level in 2009.
@@dominickmayberr7729 this is one of the worst comments ever
@@dominickmayberr7729 Just stop
dUMBBASS COMMENT,@@dominickmayberr7729
That first pass was perfectly thrown by Stafford and revis keeping his eye on the football made a perfect deflection, that was incredible to watch
Revis was so great he made all pro (much higher honor than pro bowler) in 2010 while not having a single interception that season.
Thats because on an award the players decide on, the true winners get the award. The players truly know who is the best. Hence no one throwing at Revis.
Prime time is the best cb ever. Teams would play whole games and not even throw to his side of the hash marks for fear of a TD going the other way . Not to mention his special teams play. Best I have ever seen.
This though Revis was a great CB no one has ever done what Prime time did and no one has ever been able to replicate it.
Revis quite literally was the master at interfering with a player on damn near every down and yet not drawing a flag because he knew how to make it look like he wasn't interfering with him.
The antithesis of Michael Irvin who pushed off more than any receiver in history, and the douche announcers would call it "creating space".
@@43captrexkramer that's what it was.
@@laur9333 No that's offensive pass interference, unless your a lesser known established player.
I'm not trying to take anything away from revis, dude is a legend, but he got away with a lot of extra contact through his career with his uncanny ability to place his body exactly where he needed to to make plays.
That may be true but wide receivers literally do that all the time. Its subtle but they push off on every other catch.
You get to be physical that’s a good thing you think they’re not suppose to make contact?
Good video. Fun Fact: Suh kicked an extra point in that game lol
Thank you! That game was insane.
Lol
Ndamukong? Or However you say his name
He missed an extra point that game....that miss was CRUCIAL.
*missed*
Champ Bailey in 2006 was by far the most dominant season for a CB EVER! Only gave up 4 receptions ALL SEASON! Had 10 INTs and over 80 tackles. Revis was a baller, but nothing compares to Champ in 2006
Let them no brethren, champ is arguably the greatest cb in my opinion
@@calypsoseraph its a toss up for me. Its him or Charles Woodson. Woodson with a slight edge. He scored 11 TDs off picks. Everyone always picks prime time though.
@@HeyImJ_EST.87 Deion?
@@_SayitAintSo Deion isn’t best for me. Him shying away from contact is what drops him for me. So many missed tackles. Best cover corner. But not all around best cb.
Ty Law had 10 interceptions in a year for the Jets because our D was terrible and couldn't get off the field. Not knocking Champ, but the Jets actually had top ranked defenses those years BECAUSE of Revis (2006 Broncos was middle of the pack). In 2009, they only allowed 8 passing TDs the entire season despite facing Brady twice, Peyton, Brees, Palmer, Matt Ryan. 2009-2010 Revis is the best corner of all time. No other corner has ever been left on an island week in and out like he was and dominated. Much respect to Champ though. He was a beast
As a Jets fan, I know exactly what’s about to happen 😂
My prayers go out to you🙏😔
@@Aka_GodSpeed same
i like the jets from the wonder years. packers first though. would love to see the jets turn a new leaf
that out of bounds call in todays game would have all 6 refs throwing the flag for a PI lmao
not for lions tho
3 or 4 plays in this game were easily missed PI. Revis was famous for it during his "prime". He gave up a lot of penalty yards against some of those other guys too.
calvin johnson is probably the best wide receiver of all time. he could just do things no other wide receivers could. if he had played on a better franchise with a better qb, and played more than half a career(he wisely retired super early) he probably breaks every receiving record in the sport.
He is the best of all time
SO excited to watch this vid, i liked before even watching! Both of these athletes were absolutely dominating and are both future HOF's.
My dog is named after Darrelle Revis
Your dog couldn’t cover Calvin either.
How could someone be so fisically and athletically gifted. Wow he was just a beast
Physically *
Revis was the Deion of our time. They had similar career paths, similar accolades, they shut down the best receivers of their time, they got drafted onto crappy franchises, they retired early, they have iconic nicknames that they gave to themselves, and they only won their Super Bowls once they got traded.
Amazing video, super high production quality thanks a lot for making it. Completely agree that Revis does not get enough credit for this -- in my opinion corner backs always have a tougher job than the receivers. And what a tough job he was up against but he put on a clinic anyway. Nice job with this one
In 2 of these clips Revis committed PI and one had a holding and PI by today’s rules/ref calling. Revis was legit no cap, but he got away with some stuff, which to be honest is a legit skill of a DB
A true clash of Titans. Two guys who, at their peak, could be the best ever at their positions.
Great video! Thanks for that.
WOW! Those two guys were beasts! I loved watching them.
3:30 he talks about the game
I love Revis, and I think he's probably my #2 DB all time behind Prime Time. That said, I think his match ups with Moss is a little unfair considering Randy was past his prime. Sure, Moss still had his leaping ability and route running, but he wasn't the same blazer he once was. He wasn't getting behind defenses, but Brady was putting a lot of ball on the money and Moss still could go get it. In his prime, Randy would've burned him cause no one can keep up with #84 unless your name was Deon Sanders.
Beautiful video man. Keep it up homie 👍🏾.
Salute to you for this video. Well done.
Revis was the best cornerback ever at consistently timing when he made contact with the receiver right as the ball would get there, very rarely penalized, and super smart at positioning overall... just a remarkably skilled player...
Amazing video. Revis is an inch shorter than me but SQUARED UP Megatron. Hell of an accomplishment.
Great video and Great editing - Yes, Revis was a MONSTER in his prime - very rare abilities. 👍
Need more videos like this in my life I just subbed expecting great things from u
This video is mad professional bro. You don’t stutter, run on, or anything like that. Editing is perfect, and you don’t just play the same clips over and over again while you talk. You’re gonna gain subscriber quick if you make more videos like this one.

@@chahance938 4 minutes to get to the game in question.
@@evelk5233 chill bro I’m good wit my opinion I don’t need yours
No hate but at 3:19 there's a weird jump cut
What’s crazy about prime Revis is he was shutting every great receiver he played against down but somehow Stevie Johnson used to do constantly well against Revis.
Stevie was his krpytonite lol ...Stevie use to kill Revis lol
Nobody shut down THE GREAT Amani Toomer, OK I'm biased. I'm a Giants fan and once went to Bucs and 49ers just to see Rice, he didn't disappoint. Wish I had gone to see Calvin.
Helped when Stevie Johnson would take 9 seconds and make 8 jukes to run a slant route lol
Both from the same draft class. It is crazy how good this class was.
Good content ! Keep up the good work sir!
Revis was an absolute beast in his prime. Man on man, Revis was gonna win that battle. Shadowed the best receiver every game. That's how you know you're a true shutdown corner. He was the best corner in the NFL for a stretch of 3-5 years.

You've got a new subscriber! Great video
I had the truly great privilege of watching Calvin play at Georgia Tech in person many times. I can tell you he sharpened his skills in laying out or getting hit to make a catch.
Reggie Ball, GT quarterback was a mess.
I’d call Darelle “General Revis” best nickname ever
Hello there.
Revis, Deion Sanders and Rod Woodsen. The best corners I've seen.
It can be a few other names but I agree 100%
Sanders sucked in coverage, and he certainly couldn’t tackle.
@@tomhearns143 how could he suck in coverage or tackling when no quarterbacks would throw to his side of the field
Champ and c woodson as well
Bro i disagree deion number 1
great video man
Good work kid I really enjoyed your breakdown with Dbs an Wr, I played college ball as a dB.
Show where Stevie Johnson took his lunch money everytime they matched up
It was strange how scrubs always had his number. Ted Ginn was another guy.
Long time Lions fan, Revis is incredible. Extraordinary talent and mind. Had such an amazing sense of body placement and sense of where the ball was. Calvin was rarely shut down and this was tyne best defense ever played against him.
When you are a fan of a team, you hope that in your lifetime, there comes a player who makes you excited for Sundays to come. As a Jets fan, I looked forward to seeing Revis on Sundays. What a joy to watch. But you know something, his technique was phenomenal on his approach to opposing WRs. During the playoff runs, Colts turned to Pierre Garcon in AFC title game because Revis locked down half the field with Reggie Wayne. Steelers turned to a rookie named Antonio Brown to seal the deal in AFC title game because Hines Ward was locked up. Every week Revis was on his game. Taking half a field away is extremely hard to do. And he went wherever the #1 WR went. We will never see it, but I would have loved to see Revis defend Tyreke Hill straight up. He wasn't giving up 10 yard cushions either.
Great video man!
Thank you!
Revis Island was real remember when the league just stopped throwing his direction lmao
3:54, I love the cinematics do more of them

Detroit wasted Calvin Johnsons career. They seem to make a habit out of wasting players careers
I remember this game! Great game. That 3rd and 5 was huge too. I remember them showing it a few times and Revis definitely got there a little early but it was bang bang
This was a great vid. You got a sub. Keep it up brotha. Look forward to seeing you when you got 100K+ don’t forget about the people who were here when you were this size!

I think Revis got there early on that 3rd and 5, still crazy tho hes amazing
Yes he did
Calvin Johnson and Andre Johnson are not appreciated enough.
Especially andre he was a beast
Great video!
I'm a 44 year old PATS fan who actually got to enjoy see Revis play for the Patriots n help win a Superbowl. Ty Law, C. Woodson n D. Revis my favorite CB/DB...
I remember watching this game. I only turned it on to see this matchup. Calvin caught that first pass for 13 and I changed the channel thinking revis was going to get smoked. I turned back in the 3rd quarter and Johnson still only had one catch
You stopped after ONE catch? You somehow made Mark Wahlberg leaving after 3-28 look not as dumb lol
@@harrisonboogie there were better games on. Even if the matchup was great I’m not watching the jets lions in 2010 all the way through
Now if this game was played today it would be 2 bad teams playing each other 😆 also there is a good announcer for this match up.
I remember as a lions fan watching this game. The jets had this insane defense and the lions lost our kicker due to injury and had to have suh kick one of
Our extra points which hit the upright! That game was a chance for us to get in the playoff race and lost in typical lions fashion!
Great video bro
Well, you missed some important details.
Calvin played for the lions.
And revis played for the jets.
The Jets that year had a top 3, arguably best defense that year. In competition with Ray Lewis Ravens defense and a Troy Polamalu steelers defense.
The lions had a one man show offense where Stafford would literally rely on Calvin to make plays or open the defense for others to barely get open. There's a reason they were 6-10 that year. Revis also got away with pass interfence, as did most corners that lined up on Megatron
One CB or one CB doesnt make up the team.. and even if the best defense this year, like tampa or something..doesnt meant they woudlnt get burnt by kupp for a td or big yards or hopkins or deebo or jefferson or adamsl etc etc . they ALL have KILLED it against ANY cb.. so for calvin johnson to still get beat by revis, thats saying something because all those other recievers have still produced against big play cbs
Peep the bears held him to 30 yards, peanut tillman was a dawg. Mannnn i miss those days
He should be a HOF’er soon
I always felt he gave up a short catch, only to punch the ball out, causing a turnover..

One of the most underrated performances by a corner. Ppl don't never mention this game but Revis erased him.

Not taking anything away from Revis, but honestly, Detroit's 2010 season was horrible.
Everyone on that roster had a bad/average year.
The next season was historic tho for them
Yeah, he had an insane year...but, if your team doesn’t win a championship who cares? The Jets simply haven’t had a strong year in about 20 years.
