Where’s Revis? He completely shut down Megatron Terrell Owen’s Randy moss Steve smith Andre Johnson and other top receivers with ZERO SAFETY HELP,,,,, he’s by far the best cover cornerback ever to be in the NFL
Hey JD,
This is the honorable mention list. Revis is #63 on the top-100. Here’s the link:

The ACL injury in 2012 was devastating in terms of where he ranks on the all time list. He had just put down three consecutive 1st Team All-Pro seasons and looked every bit like a GOAT candidate at cornerback. While he was able to add another 1st Team All-Pro season in 2014 and a SB with New England, his peak lasted just 6-7 seasons, which limits his ceiling on the all-time list. If we were making a “peak only” list, then he’d rank higher.
