(S2) - Weekend PT #6 - Childhood Hero

[Darnellthebeast]

As a child growing up in the middle of Nebraska, Darnell Turner didn't have a hometown team. Instead, he chose to follow his favorite players, one of which was Darelle Revis. Revis, a cornerback for the Patriots and the Jets, was one of the top cornerbacks to ever play the game. Revis made seven pro bowls in his career along with multiple all pros. He won a superbowl in his year in New England, the only one of his career. One of the most impressive facts about him was from 2007-2013, he didn't allow a single receiver he was covering to catch for over 100 yards. Thats nearly 100 games where star receivers were locked down. Revis' nickname was Revis Island, due to the fact that he took opposing number one wide receivers by himself and locked them down. Another example of his dominance was in two games against the Bengals in one season, Revis allowed two catches for 28 yards for Ochocinco and grabbed an interception for himself. In the AFC championship, of the three passes thrown at him, Revis tipped away two and caught the other for an interception. Revis' amazing lockdown abilities are the reason he was Darnell Turner's childhood hero.
