ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) – Darius Slay took a look at six names written on a notebook, an unofficial ranking of the NFL’s top six shutdown corners: Patrick Peterson, Richard Sherman, Chris Harris, Josh Norman, Darrelle Revis and Slay.
“Oh, that’s a good list,” the Detroit Lions cornerback said Wednesday.
Indeed.
While some may think the 31-year-old Revis has lost a step, Charles Woodson said the New York Jets star deserves to be mentioned among the league’s top cover corners.
“Revis is still in discussion,” Woodson, a recently retired NFL great, wrote in a text message.
