Twenty-four short stories about Darrelle Revis, matching his uniform number, in honor of induction this month into the Pro Football Hall of Fame:
1. Darrelle Revis has the best email address. It’s as elite as his playing career, those 11 (mostly) dominant seasons, played (mostly) in New York, for the Jets. His email address is perhaps the best such string of letters and numbers ever composed. Out of respect for his privacy, there’s no reason to publish it in full. But let’s just say three parts are my … own … island.
Revis is funny like that, for those of us who have gotten to know him. He never made that easy. But he is funny. Sneaky funny. The Quip—a nod to his hometown of Aliquippa, Penn.—with dry quips. Remarkably intelligent. Loyal. Driven. The kind of player who, in hindsight, was destined for Canton.
