Darrelle Revis
The 2009-10 season was an especially high-profile year for Revis as he finished second in the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year voting behind Green Bay's Charles Woodson. Despite the all-pro list of wide receivers he faced, including Randy Moss, Steve Smith, Chad Ochocinco, Andre Johnson and Marques Colston, Revis only allowed 41 catches (2.6 per game) for the season.http://www.nfl.com/players/darrellerevis/careerstats?id=REV515344
When targeting receivers covered by Revis, NFL quarterbacks completed only 37% of their passes, averaged a 32 QB rating and threw for two touchdowns along with just 425 yards. Revis shadowed number one wide receivers all over the place, and was targeted a league high 111 times as a result. He caught six interceptions and scored a touchdown. Revis became an All-Pro for the second season in a row, as a result of his stellar play.http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10458

John Conner
Prior to the 2010 NFL Draft, the New York Jets traded Leon Washington and their 236th selection to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for the 139th selection. The Jets used that pick on Conner and played him in all 16 regular-season games during his rookie campaign in 2010. In those games, Conner recorded eight carries for 44 yards and his first professional touchdown, which came in the final regular-season game against the Buffalo Bills.http://www.newyorkjets.com/team/roster/John-Conner/0d78e30f-11bf-45f2-8d47-fc9e328803f1
