Asante Samuel and Darrelle Revis held very similar roles during their time with the New England Patriots.
The two former All-Pro cornerbacks served as lockdown defenders on Super Bowl winning squads in New England, with Samuel capturing two rings in 2003 and 2004, and Revis capturing his lone ring in 2014.
There is no arguing that they were both tremendous players and contributed greatly to the Patriots’ success. Well… Samuel has found a way to argue that.
In an act of defiance against ESPN’s rankings of the top cornerbacks in the NFL, Samuel took some time to suggest New York Jets star Sauce Gardner’s value has been inflated by playing in a big market.
