He earned first-team freshman [[All-America]] honors his 2004 freshman campaign. Revis played all 12 games, and started 11 of those 12. Revis tied for fifth on the team with 49 tackles, tied for team lead with 12 broken-up passes, and second on the team with 14 defended passes. Revis also had two interceptions. The most important of the two interceptions was against the [[West Virginia Mountaineers football|West Virginia Mountaineers]], when he intercepted a late pass that set up the Panthers' game-winning drive. Revis also had a career-high seven tackles against the [[Boston College Eagles football|Boston College Eagles]]. With Pitt leading 17–10, the Boston College Eagles elected to go for it late in the fourth on fourth-and-goal. The pass got to the one-yard line, but Revis hit the receiver and stopped him from getting the score. Revis' sophomore season in 2005 was another excellent campaign. Revis earned first-team All-[[Big East Conference (1979–2013)|Big East]] at cornerback. Revis led the Panthers with four interceptions and was second-team with 13 defended passes. Revis was ranked second in the Big East with two recovered fumbles.

Revis recorded interceptions against the [[Virginia Cavaliers football|Virginia Cavaliers]] and Cincinnati, which were both taken back for touchdowns. During the 2006 [[Backyard Brawl]] game with rival West Virginia, Revis made a dynamic, 73-yard punt return, while breaking several tackles, and finally scoring a touchdown late in the second quarter.

The Jets won the game 37–0, their second shutout, and third 'defensive' shutout. The victory qualified the Jets for the postseason, and the two teams met up again six days later in the first round.

Since the Chargers had a large variety of well acclaimed receivers, Revis was forced to cover most of them, yet San Diego quarterback [[Philip Rivers]] only threw the ball to a receiver covered by Revis three times during the entire game. Two of the three were tipped away by Revis for an incomplete pass, and the third was an interception. His interception was made diving to the ground to catch a ball that was deflected off the shoe of Chargers' [[wide receiver]] [[Vincent Jackson]]. Revis' interception changed the momentum of the game and was instrumental in the Jets' 17–14 victory. The win led the Jets to the AFC Championship game against the [[Indianapolis Colts]], the Jets first trip to the AFC Championship game since 1998. The Jets lost 30–17, due to a lack of scoring in the second half (0 points), and poor secondary playing, with the exception of Revis himself, who only allowed 2 receptions.

Revis was successful in getting one of the biggest contracts in the NFL, in line with other elite players such as defensive end [[Mario Williams]] (six years, $96 million), wide receivers [[Calvin Johnson]] (eight years, $132 million) and [[Larry Fitzgerald]] (eight years, $113 million) received.<ref>https://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl--sources--jets-have-agreement-in-principle-to-trade-darrelle-revis-to-bucs-150815922.html</ref> Revis' 6-year deal was worth $96 million, making him the highest paid defensive back in NFL history,<ref name="To the Bucs"/> however there was no guaranteed money included.

On December 27, Revis was selected to his 5th Pro Bowl, his first with Tampa Bay. After the season, he was named SN Comeback Player Of The Year. During his first and only season with Tampa Bay, Revis started all 16 games with a sack, 2 interceptions, 11 passes defended, 2 forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, and 50 tackles. Despite Revis' outstanding season, he was not an ideal fit for Tampa Bay's defensive system. When [[Lovie Smith]] was hired to replace [[Greg Schiano]], he brought his [[Tampa 2]] defense with him, a zone defense that is focused on an elite middle linebacker, not a shutdown corner. Revis, being an elite man-to-man cornerback, was rumored to be on the trading block because of his large $16 million salary for the 2014 season. [[File:Darrelle Revis 2014.jpg|thumb|Revis with the Patriots.]] On March 12, 2014, the Bucs released Revis after several failed attempts to trade him, making him an unrestricted free agent for the first time of his career.<ref>{{cite web|last=Rosenthal|first=Gregg|title=Darrelle Revis released by Tampa Bay Buccaneers|url=http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000333460/article/darrelle-revis-released-by-tampa-bay-buccaneers|accessdate=March 12, 2014}}</ref> ===New England Patriots=== On March 12, 2014, within hours of being released by the Buccaneers, Revis signed a 1-year contract worth $12 million with the [[New England Patriots]], with the salary cap hit spread over two years.<ref>[http://espn.go.com/blog/new-england-patriots/post/_/id/4760152/details-on-darrelle-revis-contract Details on Darrelle Revis' contract]</ref> In Revis' first and only season in New England, he had 47 tackles, 2 interceptions, 14 passes defensed, and 1 forced fumble. The Patriots finished the season 12-4. In the Divisional game against the [[Baltimore Ravens]], Revis had 2 pass interference calls against wide receiver [[Steve Smith Sr.]]. The Patriots would go on to win the game 35-31 and advance to the AFC Championship game. In the [[AFC Championship]] game, Revis recorded an interception on [[Andrew Luck]] and the Patriots went on to defeat the [[Indianapolis Colts]] 45-7. This marked Revis' first trip to the [[Super Bowl]]. The Patriots faced the [[Seattle Seahawks]] in [[Super Bowl XLIX]] on February 1, 2015, and won 28-24. Revis tallied a sack in the game. During the AFC Championship Game and Super Bowl combined, Revis allowed one completion on passes thrown to receivers he was covering. After the season, the Patriots did not pick up a $20 million option in his contract to bring Revis back for a second year following the 2014 season. ===Second stint with the Jets=== The [[New York Jets]] signed Revis to a five-year, $70 million contract with $39 million guaranteed on March 10, 2015.<ref>{{cite web|title=Darrelle Revis to return to Jets, who also add cornerback Buster Skrine |url=http://www.newsday.com/sports/football/jets/darrelle-revis-to-return-to-jets-who-also-add-cornerback-buster-skrine-1.10042491 |publisher=Newsday |author=Martin, Kimberley |date=March 10, 2015 |archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/6WwLh6csJ?url=http://www.newsday.com/sports/football/jets/darrelle-revis-to-return-to-jets-who-also-add-cornerback-buster-skrine-1.10042491 |archivedate=March 11, 2015 |accessdate=March 10, 2015 |deadurl=yes |df=mdy }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/article-randylangefb/Coming-Home-Darrelle-Revis-Jets-Reunite/fa2c68f3-380e-400d-b093-0f01214c1fed|title='Coming Home': Darrelle Revis, Jets Reunite|work=NewYorkJets.com|first=Randy|last=Lange|date=March 11, 2015|accessdate=March 12, 2015}}</ref> The Jets were, however, the subject of investigation into [[tampering (sport)|tampering]] after charges were filed by the Patriots.
