There has been a lot of news centered around Darrelle Revis lately. Is Revis done? Not quite and set the record straight for those that think that he’s retiring.
If you’ve been reading Jets news this week, you are indeed right-a lot has been involving Darrelle Revis. Tom Brady sort of threw a low jab since Revis got burned and allowed the Patriots to score 2 touchdowns. The chemistry isn’t quite there for the team. Revis knows that he is getting older and isn’t the same player he once was. Is he retiring? Don’t expect that announcement anytime soon.
Revis responded to that report on Thursday, telling Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.tv that he thinks “just because we’re not having a good year these allegations come out” and that “I still have a lot of football to play.”
“I still love the game. I think that’s why I’m still playing the game, just the love for it,” Revis said. “It’s the competitive nature in me to go out and try to perform to the best of my abilities on Sundays. I don’t think me being questioned about that … it’s really bizarre in a way. At the same time I understand the position we’re in as a team right now. And I’m the target. That comes with the territory. It just comes with the territory. You just persevere through it and know that in the end, when the smoke clears, everything will take care of itself.”
The Jets face the Colts on Monday, December 5.
