Former New England Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis is bound for a gold jacket on the first ballot.
The Super Bowl XLIX champion was elected as part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 2023 class during Thursday night’s “NFL Honors” ceremony from Symphony Hall in Phoenix, Ariz.
Drafted No. 14 overall in 2007, Revis established himself as the league’s premier cover corner through six campaigns with the New York Jets before being traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2013. In the hours after his release the following March, the University of Pittsburgh product signed a one-year contract with New England en route to a ring.
