Revis - Dpoy!!!!

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/jets/2010-01-06-darrelle-revis-usat-dpoy_N.htm

New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis shut down nearly all comers this season. And in return he has honors as the NFL's best defensive player coming his way.

Revis has earned the Defensive Player of the Year, as voted by USA TODAY's panel of NFL writers and editors.

He garnered three first-place votes from the 11-person panel, and claimed the award in a close vote by one point over Green Bay Packers CB Charles Woodson.

Revis, in his third season, is winning praise as perhaps the NFL's most effective corner.

It's not just the stats of the Jets cornerback (31 passes defensed, six INTs, one returned for a TD) that elevate him, it's the suffocating coverage he delivered against some of the best receivers in the NFL this season.

"Nobody puts as much on one player as we put on him," Jets coach Rex Ryan said of Revis last month. "Every single week, he has to answer the bell. Not Champ Bailey (of the Denver Broncos), not anybody in this league, is asked to do what he does."

Revis has lined up against Houston's Andre Johnson, New England's Randy Moss, Buffalo's Terrell Owens, Carolina's Steve Smith and Cincinnati's Chad Ochocinco this season. And he routinely marginalized teams' premier offensive weapon on a outpost some have called "Revis Island."

He held Ochocinco without a catch in a 37-0, playoff-clinching win in Week 17, even after Ochocinco brashly said it was "impossible" to cover him.

Revis, elected to his second Pro Bowl, has eschewed trash-talking, however.

"I remember they get paid as well as I do," he said of his opponents. "so there's no trying to get into a sparring match or a trash-talking match."
