FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets star cornerback Darrelle Revis, who will have surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, predicted Monday he will return to his elite level for the 2013 season.

"Once I get back to 100 percent, to me there's no question I (will) be back to where I was," Revis said, commenting for the first time since suffering the season-ending injury three weeks ago in Miami.

But Revis, 27, acknowledged he will have to prove himself to the organization before landing a long-term contract extension. He's signed through 2013, and there's a clause in his current deal that prohibits the Jets from using the franchise tag.

"I'm sure it might raise people's eyebrows with how I'm going to look when I come back," he said. "I'm OK with that. I wouldn't expect anything less. I just know I work hard and I'm going to treat it like any other offseason."

The Jets had planned to re-sign Revis before the 2013 season -- he signed a four-year, $46 million contract at the start of the 2010 season -- but the injury could complicate matters. Revis declined to speculate on his future, saying he wants to focus on getting healthy.
