Darrelle Revis is one of the best shutdown cornerbacks of this current generation. Sundays aren't the same these days without getting to watch him battle it out with the top wide receiver from his opposing team. That is if the quarterback decides to target his side of the field at all. Revis played his collegiate football in his home state of Pennsylvania at the University of Pittsburgh from 2004-2006. In those three seasons, Revis was named First-Team All-Big East in 2005 and 2006 and ESPN's College Player of the Year in 2006.

Darrelle Revis was drafted 14th overall in the 2007 NFL Draft by the New York Jets where he spent the majority of his professional football career in two stints. The 7x Pro Bowler spent the first six seasons of his NFL career in New York where he became known for his 'Revis Island' moniker. In total eight seasons (2007-2012, 2015-16) Darrelle spent with the Jets he was able to rake in a total of $96.6 million in contract money, but his willingness to become a free agent earned him more. Revis also played for the Tampa Bay Bucs for a single season in 2013 for $16 million. He also spent some time in New England for a single season for $12 million and won a Super Bowl ring with the franchise. His final season in the NFL (2017), he spent as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs before calling it quits. After all the ink settled, Revis brought home a whopping $124+ million.
