Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis is on the cover of Sports Illustrated this week in a homage to a Joe Namath cover from July 1965 that played off his Broadway Joe nickname.
There’s also a recreation of the famous shot of Namath holding court poolside in Miami before Super Bowl III (there’s no pantyhose ad, sadly) the article by Greg Bishop itself features into other connections between the two Jets. Knee problems were a constant for Namath during his career and Revis experienced a serious one in 2012 when he tore his ACL.
