Revis made his name shadowing wide receivers, so he knows a great grab when he sees one. Still, this is remarkably high praise. It’s debatable whether Pickens’ grab is even better than the famous Odell Beckham Jr. grab in 2014, which arguably had a higher degree of difficulty for being so close to the sideline.
Still, Revis’ opinion has to count for something. If he thinks it ranks among the best ever, Pickens can certainly hang his hat on that praise.
