It was announced on Thursday that Pittsburgh native Darrelle Revis was going to be enshrined in football greatness forever.
Revis makes it in as one of nine players to be elected in this 2023 class, getting in on his first year of eligibility as well.
What makes this even more special is where he came from. He played his high school ball at Aliquippa and then went on to play for his hometown Pittsburgh Panthers in college from 2004-06.
Revis becomes the third Aliquippa High School alum to be inducted, along with Mike Ditka (1988) and Ty Law (2019), making it the high school with the most players in the hall ever.
He also becomes the 10th player from the University of Pittsburgh to enter the hall, putting them only behind Michigan, Notre Dame, and USC.
Aliquippa becomes an even more prestigious football program.
They’re owners of four football state championships and 19 WPIAL titles.
In 11 seasons, Revis had 29 interceptions, three touchdowns, and one super bowl to his name for the New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New England Patriots, and Kansas City Chiefs.
He goes into the hall later this summer alongside Ronde Barber, Don Coryell, Chuck Howley, Joe Klecko, Ken Riley, Joe Thomas, Zach Thomas, and DeMarcus Ware.
