ESPN recently evaluated the top players from each of the 32 NFL franchises and named one outstanding player from every team the Player of the Decade. For the New York Jets, Pitt great and former All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis was honored with the title.
Revis was selected for the honor by Rich Cimini of ESPN, and Jets center Nick Mangold earned honorable mention for his contributions to the team in the 2010s. In the article announcing the selection, Cimini outlined Revis’ accomplishments from the last decade.
“Revis played only 60 regular-season games for the Jets in the decade — five seasons — but it was enough time to establish himself as one of the best defensive players in franchise history,” Cimini wrote.
