Widely regarded as one of the best cornerbacks in NFL history, Darrelle Revis officially retired Tuesday afternoon, signing a one-day contract to retire as a New York Jet.

The media had their fair share of questions for the 33-year-old. Among them, reporters wanted to know who was the most challenging receiver to ever visit Revis Island?

“I’d probably say Randy Moss — he was probably the toughest cover for me,” Revis said. “The size, speed, intelligence, him being a player, is amazing.”

Moss, who will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame next month, can add Revis to a list of peers to validate his performance on the field. While Moss was able to record two touchdowns in three appearances against the Jets cornerback, Revis limited him to catching fewer than half of his targets. Not to mention that an interception against the duo of Moss and Tom Brady was a rare sight.

Over an 11-year career in the NFL, Revis Island was visited by some of the best receivers the league had to offer. With every team’s top-talent seeing No. 24 shadow them, quarterbacks became less likely to target Revis’ side of the field.

There are plenty of receivers who could be crowned as the best to ever line up against Revis — Terrell Owens, Chad Ochocinco and Calvin Johnson among them. For the Jets great to single out Moss as his biggest challenge demonstrates the respect the two have for each other.

Of course, Revis couldn’t give Moss all the credit.

“When you align (Moss) with one of the greatest quarterbacks that ever probably played the game, it’s even tougher,” Revis said of Brady. “Playing against those two guys, those two players, is probably a two-on-one fast break in basketball.”

Brady eventually helped Revis win his only Super Bowl during his one season in New England. Still, he’ll always be remembered as a Jet.
