It is hard to pinpoint just one player that Kristoffer O'Sullivan looked up to as a young kid growing up, but there is one player that was arguably the best over a long period of time and one that most closely resembles the kind of player he wants to be.
Darrelle Revis was probably the most gifted shut-down corner the world had ever seen. Newer fans might not realize just how dominant Revis was for a large portion of his career, as he started to get worse with age, but make no mistake, Revis island was a huge deal for years.
Consider these statistics: From 2007 to 2013, Darrelle Revis went 98 games in a row without allowing a 100 yard receiver against him. That is a pretty insane dominance if you ask me. There was also his performance in the playoffs, when he shut down Reggie Wayne to one yard on one catch, the same Reggie Wayne who had Peyton Manning throwing to him and who had been 1st team All Pro that year.
Revis was arguably the most dominant shut down cornerback ever and O'Sullivan wants to become the same.
