Darrelle Shavar Revis (born July 14, 1985) is an American former professional football cornerback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 11 seasons. A member of the New York Jets for most of his career, Revis is considered to be 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 played college football for the Pittsburgh Panthers and was selected in the first round in the 2007 NFL draft by the Jets, where he spent eight non-consecutive seasons. He also played one season each for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New England Patriots, and Kansas City Chiefs. During his career, he was named to seven Pro Bowls and four-time first-team All-Pros, and won Super Bowl XLIX with the Patriots. He was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2023.
