CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Revis Island has a new home in “Football Heaven.”
After Joe Klecko and Fireman Ed got the green-clad crowd roaring “J-E-T-S! Jets! Jets! Jets!” four-time All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis took his spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.
“It’s an honor to be here, to stand among the greats,” the soft-spoken Revis said.
A first-ballot inductee, Revis was so dominant that opposing quarterbacks stopped throwing the ball his way.
He won a Super Bowl in his only season with the New England Patriots before returning home to New York and finished his career with seven Pro Bowl selections.
