Revis Island is the nickname given to New York Jets superstar cornerback Darrelle Revis' ability to shut down opposing wide receivers. Revis Island is metaphorically a lonely oasis in the middle of nowhere. A place wide recievers are stranded or banished to when put up against Darrelle Revis. The phrase was coined during the the 2009/2010 NFL season and has taken on a cult like following among New York Jets fans. Being banished to Revis Island is a mark of ineptitude by any Wide Reciever who has been shut down by the man regarded as the best cover corner in the National Football League. Revis had a break out season in 2009 coming off his first Pro Bowl campaign in 2008. In 2009 he was the runner up to Charles Woodson for the Associated Press NFL Defensive Player of the Year award.
