I've never watched this fully until now. 
 
It tracks Revis from his early days growing up poor in Aliquippa (had no idea that besides from Ty Law, Tony Dorsett, and Mike Ditka are also from the area). 
 
He had a lot of collegiate suitors, but specifically chose Pitt so his family could watch him play. 
 
Also didn't know -- he held out from joining the Jets from the get-go, holding out 20 days until signing his first rookie deal.
 
Absolutely loved clip where Woody Johnson talks about how he can't run a business where contracts aren't respected, which of course eventually led to all the bad blood between Revis and NYJ.
 
Worth a watch.

To add, I believe Matt Williamson the former scout & ESPN, ESPN Football Today analyst recruited Revis when he was working for Pitt.
