That and a box of chocolates get you what? The teams were mediocre when they were all here. I would rather them be more successful in college than the pros. If it would help recruiting, then yeah. But what stud 4-5 star prospect ever said, "man I am going to Pitt because XXXX played here". And these guys, unlike Penn State alums, Ohio State alums, the U, etc....I don't see them actively helping out recruiting or anything like that. And then there is that donation thingy....Originally posted by CaptainMurphy:
I don't think you can be serious. What has he done for Pitt? The same thing Fitzgerald, McCoy, and now Donald have done for Pitt. They are all the best at their respective positions in the NFL which clearly does show well for Pitt to recruits and general fans. As far as Revis in particular, what has he done that hasn't put Pitt in a good light, aside from a few twitter exchanges with Richard Sherman? By the way, I'm sure Stanford alum are really proud of Sherman and his antics...
Revis is always quick to mention Pitt and Pittsburgh, seems like he is pretty proud of both.
Did he say he was from Pitt or Aliquippa during the starting lineup intros? I didnt see it.Originally posted by CaptainMurphy:

Wow, what a magnanimous gesture.Originally posted by Pitt_97:
Yep. He said: "Darrelle Revis.......Pitt!"
I just wish these guys would do more for Pitt.Originally posted by The Loaded Italian:
He has been a complete professional his entire career.
He works and gives his time and money to Nerih Inc, and gives much money to the Crones disease foundation which supports the disease his sister has. He has also done many functions to raise money for childhood cancer, like the basketball game he sponsored for Alex's lemonade stand.
Furthermore he has always been gracious in loses, and classy in victory. You dont see onfield incidents or hear of off field tragedies. He has been, like most all Pitt grads in the NFL, a good guy in the league.
