FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- This has been a difficult season for Darrelle Revis, whose struggles have been well-documented, but sometimes football isn't the most important thing. On Tuesday, Revis received sad news from his hometown of Aliquippa, Pennsylvania.
DiMantae Bronaugh, 19, a former standout running back at Aliquippa High School, died Tuesday after battling leukemia for more than a year. On Wednesday, Revis shared his emotions on Instagram.
Bronaugh wore No. 24 in high school (Revis' number with the Jets) and was buried in his football jersey, although it's unclear if he wore 24 as a tribute to the star cornerback, an Aliquippa legend who still has close ties to the community.
