Darrelle Revis: 'New England Patriots best place for me'

New England Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis reveals that he chose to be with the club because of their winning reputation.

New England Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis has revealed that he joined the club to be part of a "winning" organisation.

The 28-year-old penned a reported two-year deal with Bill Belichick's side after being released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week.

Revis told reporters: "We had to weigh our options. It was a lot of stuff going on after I got released, teams calling and we had to weigh our options. Me and my agents had to weigh our options.

"We felt like New England was the best place. They're a winning program, they're a winning organisation and we wanted to be a part of it.

"I know the New England Patriots very well from playing against them when I was a Jet and we just felt like this is the right situation for me. Everything fell into place."

Revis played all 16 games for the Buccaneers last season after recovering from a torn ACL he sustained in the 2012 campaign while at the New York Jets.
