Darrelle Revis is the best cornerback in the NFL.
He’s the best player on the league’s top-ranked defense. Two games into the season, Darrelle Revis has established himself as the premier cornerback in the NFL. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the numbers:
Against Randy Moss this Sunday, in the Jets’ 16-9 win, Revis held one of the league’s best receivers to four catches for 24 yards. One week earlier against the Bills, Moss had 12 catches for 141 yards.
In New York’s opener, Revis took star receiver Andre Johnson out of the game right from the start. Johnson finished with four catches for 35 yards. He was a non-factor. This week against the Titans, Johnson had 10 catches for 149 yards and two touchdowns.
In two games against Revis, Moss and Johnson combined have eight catches for 59 yards. In their two other games, a combined 22 catches for 290 yards.
Need more? Watch the games. On Sunday, Revis made the catch of the day, intercepting Tom Brady on a deep pass down the sideline. One on one with Moss, Revis was the one who came down with the ball.
Revis is only in his third year. A first-round draft pick in 2007, he’s lived up to the hype, and then some. In 34 games played, he’s recorded 152 tackles, nine interceptions, 34 passes defended, and he hasn’t missed a start.
Revis is a superstar. He’s also the best cornerback in the NFL.
