@@jon_puhalski60 Prime Revis was a much better corner than Charles ever was. There was maybe 1 year Charles may be considered the best corner in the NFL. For a stretch of 3-5 years Revis was the #1 corner in the NFL. The year Charles won DPOY, that should've gone to Revis honestly.
Easily a Hall Of Famer and one of the best corners ever. One of the main reasons why the Jets were legit from 2009-2010. Also nice to see him get a ring
Rich Hall as a jets fan it’s disgusting that it was with the patriots but he deserved a ring because of how great he was was easily the best shutdown corner of all time
Nnamdi also didn't travel with the best receiver. He mostly played man coverage on the side of the field that wasn't looked at much by QBs. Not because he locked them down but because it was often the last read in the progression.
@@leogonzales3635 ok well that's false. He played left corner which is usually the first read. I can't say I know if he did every game but I do remember a couple times where he definitely was shadowing the #1
Nnamdi was dominant in a scheme where he mainly stayed on the right side of the field. He was exposed once he made the transition to philly. Guy kept getting smoked and qb’s were no longer afraid to throw his way. Revis is an example of a true shutdown corner.
In 2010, essentially Revis' prime, the average fan would look at statistics and say "well he didn't even get any interceptions that year" but they fail to realize that teams literally refused to throw the ball to the receiver he lined up across. Best man to man corner of all time.
Asomugha, Charles Woodson, Champ Bailey, all superb corners but PRIME Revis was that one player who would stay all game with the top WR and shut them down..that's why he barely had any interceptions. Him and prime time are the 2 last true shut down corners.
I remember when Revis came out and said he had locked down randy moss. A lot of the professional analyst came out and laughed at him.. Then a year later the same ones were talking about Revis Island every week
Gnaeus Pompaeus Magnus embarrassed? That was one of only two catches Moss had that game. You play the game long enough you’re going to get beat at some point. Look at his career stat line against Moss. He locked Moss ass down.
@@timwhite2680 REVIS had a bum hamstring that game. Get your facts straight. REVIS totally shut down moss every time they played. One catch on an injured REVIS is not embarrassing anyone.
As a Patriots fan, this guy was the real deal. Best CB I have seen play in my life time, I was too young for Prime. Always followed the other team’s best WR and the numbers don’t lie, they didn’t play well. He also didn’t benefit from a top tier D-Line like some CBs have such as Sherman and Norman, don’t have to cover for long if the line is getting to the QB. I loved Randy, but his one handed TD catch came when Revis was suffering from a very injured hamstring, so it should have an asterisk on it. He was one man, but I knew how much he impacted every game against the Pats. I always knew he was game changing and gave the Jets life. First ballot HoF.
I’d take a prime revis over any cornerback in history and revis was robbed for the dpoy in 2009 he was easily the best defender in football that year and was better then woodson
I was actually at the game when they played the Lions in Detroit. That play they showed where he knocked the ball away against Calvin was the first play of the game (notice the clock). I was looking forward to seeing the match up big time in the lead up to that game... And they tried him on the first play.......
Best defensive player I ever seen in my life That’s just my opinion he impacted the game tremendously as a defensive player people overlook him too much he’s truly the greatest defensive back ever idgaf what anyone says I watched this man play every game since 08 as a 9 year old diehard jets fan 💯
No disrespect to Woodson, but Revis not winning DPOY in '09 was straight up theft. He completely shut down several top tier WR's all year while anchoring the best defense in football. Meanwhile, Woodson and the Packers defense had the Cardinals drop 50 on them in their first playoff game
Amazing numbers, and always against the best wide receiver on the opposing team, who makes a name for themselves by regularly eating up NFL corners, but revis was no regular corner he was a whole damn ISLAND
He was almost a Steeler in the draft. They were on the phone and were ready to draft him, then the Jets traded up and got him. *Sigh*...Just to think of him in the same secondary as a prime Polamalu.
yo Revis was a dam beast, look at that clip with him covering a Dolphins receiver, just one of many of his stand out plays. he's blatantly being interfered with yet he keeps his composure and locks it down and comes up with the ball
For the 1st 6 years of his career he was the best corner of all time he was shutting down the great runs Moss Calvin Johnson,Chad Johnson etc etc etc.after he lost a step he was still a top 3 corner in the league
He was that dude after Primetime for sure. What this video didn't show was all the teams that didn't throw to his side and when they did it was disastrous. For sure a HOF
No. He didn't have the ability to intercept the ball like prime time. Passes defended he was great but his prime was short lived and he didn't face receivers like Jerry rice
As a patriots fan revis was and still is my favorite cornerback next to Deion and ty law hands down, you don’t put island after someone’s name for decoration that was only meant for lockdown and shut down corners that don’t need safety help at all, sad to see revis go out the way he did but also good to see him get a ring with the pats, not going to lie I hated how he shut down moss with ease while everyone else struggled but overall can’t deny the man was a monster and deserve respeck on his name #RevisIsland
There has NEVER been or NEVER will be another corner as dominant as #24 Revis Island. You literally put him against the best reciever and he took them out of the game with no help.
Best defensive football player to touch a field. Try covering a receiver one day.. Its the hardest thing to do in all of sports.. And this man was a shadow. Prime was never able to shadow like Revis.
I think best defender ive seen in his prime. people usually go to donald or watt but what revis did ive never seen anyone else do, to literally be one on one against the other teams best wide receiver and completely shut him down. having that kind of guy just opened the jets playbook so much
What's ironic is that he really didn't have an island on the field, he just shut one guy down. Meanwhile, Sherman specialized in having his own zone on the field. If anything it should be Shutdown Revis and Sherman Island... but no one wants to make sense I guess.
Sherman played in a totally different system than revis. Zone based scheme and sherman always had safety help. Revis was so dominant, he didn't need safety help
He was great but did do alot of holding like you could see in the Calvin clip that didnt get called. Was really good though id say easily top 3 behind prime and green
The hilarious part is about that Tennessee game revis is the one that deflected the ball back to Mariota to start that comeback that was bad way to go out but I still think hes in the top 3 corners of all time
To this day I 'm still shocked that New England didn't take Revis to replace Ty Law had the Pats taken him they would have had pass defense that would have been impenetrable.
@@Gnilretsam Maybe a top five. There's the time Moss beat him with an insane one hander for a TD, and then like 2 games where Stevie Johnson made himself a household name for a year or two. That's about all I got.
Many people say _Revis covered those guys well past their prime._ That's nonsense because when you look at someone like Moss, he was putting up monster numbers still and when he got to Revis Island, those numbers fell of dramatically.

And Aaron Donald
Most QBs didn't throw his way, so his stars were muffled. Revis is a GOAT
Revis was the best to ever do it.
Revis Island! He literally changed and made that Jets defense prime from the CB spot ! He was amazing! Arguably the best CB of all time.
Him and Cromartie were two of the best to ever do it in tandem.

to me that year where he shut down the top 5 or 6 WRs were an amazing year and cant see how anyone had a better year than that
The greatest player I’ve ever seen. In his prime he dominated games.
Don’t care what anyone says Revis is the best cover corner in history, and his 2009 season is the greatest by a corner in history

Another nice one bruh🔥🔥🔥
Actually Stevie Johnson used to give revue trouble with his unorthodox route running
True, Moss had some success just because it was Moss & Brady. But something about Stevie Johnson always gave Revis some trouble--was really weird.

nice video i recall him when i watched football alot

I'd rather see a player wane into retirement than burn out with injuries. I miss Revis but we always have the highlights

@@jahaininagaki385Yeah, I know. I guess it's just watching him play us twice a year every year for 7 years up to that point.

It was blessing being able to witness Revis play under Belichick
Darrelle Revis is my all time favorite Cornerback. The nickname “Revis Island” is a cool one too lol

Revis played at least one game in Metlife every year of his career
He didn’t give up over 60yds for the whole season... Only 2 players scored a TD on him in 2009.
I had 4 picks in my teams 6 games this seasonm
Season*
Can't even imagine what dude might have done if he had spent his career with dominant teams instead of being a dominant player on weak teams...
If that Jets team had someone other than Mark Sanchez at QB, I think that Rex Ryan defense would have won a superbowl one of those 2 seasons.
Only about 30 picks but they didn’t throw to him much so those are good numbers
Revis didn't allow a TD to Mike Sims Walker lol
