Like him or not he was about complete a CB that ever played. Man or Zone. Had it all, speed, anticipation, hands, fluidity and a sure tackler.

 

Also made a fortune due to the fact that he was never afraid  to bet on himself which always allowed him to parlay that confidence into multiple  big contract payday.

 

Still enjoyed watching Sammy corkscrew him into the turf:lol:

Going to be honest, always thought he was overrated.   Felt like he was one of those players the media hypes dramatically and the legend just kind of caught on.   Not saying he wasn't a good defensive back, just never thought he was as elite and legendary as everyone seemed to make him out to be.   In my opinion guys like Charles Woodson, Deion Sanders, Champ Bailey, Rod Woodson and Ty Law were all better.    Revis was more on par with Darrell Green, who played at that level for a much longer time.  Still makes the Hall of Fame, but not sure I want to get overly excited over a guy who is 225th on the all time interception list.   I am sure people will say he didnt have those numbers because offenses respected his side of the field so much, just my opinion.

I am glad he did this

 

One of the best ever....hated seeing him get his legacy tarnished like it has in recent years.

 

Might still have been a crackerjack safety

Chiefs played him at safety last year and he was awful. I think that was the sign he was done, surprised it took this long for the retirement.
