Darrelle Revis hysterically recalled Jets fans who burned his jersey after he joined Patriots in Hall of Fame speech

New York Jets legendary cornerback Darrelle Revis was one of the NFL greats who got enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.

The best moments from the 2023 Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony

While this year’s induction ceremony was filled with plenty of great moments, there was one that was just absolutely hilarious and perfectly summed up the plight of the Jets fan.

Revis thanked all Jets fans in his speech, which includes those who were mad he signed New England Patriots as a free agent in 2014. He laughed as he remembered the New York fans who were so upset at that signing that they burned his jersey as some sort of petty retaliation.

However, it appears as if there’s no hard feelings at all for Revis to the Jets fandom. If anything, it’s a hilarious memory from a spectacular career.

“The pressure was intense, but so was the love,” Revis told the crowd about playing for the Jets fans with a smile, “and to the Jets fans, for all the boos, cheers, when I was drafted 14th overall to burning my jersey when I signed with the Patriots, to now being here in Canton… I guess it’s safe to say we’ve been through a lot together.”

You can watch Revis’ full speech below.

Revis is one of the all-time great cornerbacks in NFL history, and he did make a return to New York to play for the Jets after winning a Super Bowl with New England.

While some Jets fans may never be able to let go of a franchise great like Revis playing for “the enemy,” it’s clear that most New York fans will always have a special place in their hearts for Revis Island.

With Revis smiling wide as he said the ceremony felt like MetLife Stadium as the Jets fans cheered him on, we have a hunch that the feeling is mutual.
