Darrelle Revis

Darrelle Revis’ return to the Big Apple in 2015 had all the makings of a feel-good story.

The dominant corner was back with the team that he started his career with, signing a five-year, $70 million deal a year after winning a Super Bowl with the New England Patriots. The only problem was, Revis was far from dominant anymore. In fact, he was terrible.

Revis’ decline started in the latter part of the 2015 season, with a Week 17 game in which Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins torched him all day long. In retrospect, it was as the beginning of the end.

Revis couldn’t cover anyone in 2016 and was released at the conclusion of the season. He caught on with the Chiefs the following season, but only lasted one season with Kansas City before retiring.
