Becoming a Super Bowl champion obviously wasn’t enough for the retired All-Pro corner Darrelle Revis to enjoy the stint with the New England Patriots in 2014. That might be the reason why he only stayed in New England for one season.
During his recent appearance on the I Am Athlete podcast, the now-retired Revis shared his thoughts on the Patriots organization, and they were not exactly pretty.
“Nobody likes it in the locker room. Just being honest, nobody likes it,” Revis said.
Revis then explained that there was “a lot of tension” and “a lot of noise” surrounding the organization that made the experience far from enjoyable for him. When asked whether a Super Bowl win made it any better, the seven-time Pro Bowler reiterated his stance.
“You see the hustle and the grind of it, but at the end of the day, there’s other philosophies to win and it doesn’t have to be that way,” he added.
Darrelle Revis signed with the Pats as a free agent ahead of the 2014 NFL season and played a big part in the team’s road to Super Bowl while earning a Pro Bowl nod and All-Pro honors. But despite this, New England decided not to pick up the option on his contract for 2015, making him a free agent.
Revis later played with the New York Jets and the Kansas City Chiefs before retiring in 2018.
