Primetime himself, Deion Sanders has to admit it. In his eyes, Darrelle Revis falls short to Charles Woodson for the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year. Sanders, arguably the greatest cornerback of all time, said he and Revis communicate every week. He gushed about him, calling him the sport’s best cornerback. Just not its defensive player of this season. I don't know if I would go that far as saying that but if you look at the stats then he is right. Woodson has more tackles (74 to 71), sacks (two to zero), forced fumbles (four to zero), interceptions (nine to six), interception return yardage (179 to 121) and return touchdowns (three to one). I think Revis is going to be the best corner in the game for years. But honestly this year, right here, Charles Woodson has made a lot of plays, man" said Deion. But to me there is more than just stats if you judging a corner in the process. Look at who Revis had to line up against: Indy's Reggie Wayne Houston’s Andre Johnson, New England’s Randy Moss (twice), Buffalo’s Terrell Owens (twice), Carolina’s Steve Smith, Atlanta’s Roddy White and Cincinnati’s Chad Ochocinco. Woodson’s opponents included Ochocinco, Minnesota’s Sidney Rice (twice) and Detroit’s Calvin Johnson. I mean either guy deserves it.
