Darrelle Revis is being talked about for reasons other than his Hall of Fame NFL career.

The former Jets cornerback joined the NBC Sports broadcast ahead of Thursday’s Hall of Fame game between Gang Green and the Browns, and viewers zeroed in on his appearance.

“Feel bad for Darrelle Revis. Those thin polyester polos are unforgiving on dad bods,” one Twitter user said. 

Another posted, “Revis island looking more like Revis continent.”

Online trolls are likely the least of Revis’ worries, though, as his NFL career will be immortalized on Saturday in Canton, Ohio, where he’ll be inducted into the Hall of Fame as part of the 2023 class. 

The 38-year-old Revis played 11 seasons in the league — including eight with the Jets over two different stints — before retiring in 2018.

The seven-time Pro Bowler played one season each with the Buccaneers, Chiefs and Patriots, winning a Super Bowl with New England in 2015.

Former Patriot-turned-NBC Sports analyst Devin McCourty joked about how the legendary defender was able to secure a title during a live TV interview on Thursday.

“I know it makes Jets fans sick, but you had to come to New England to get that Super Bowl!” McCourty quipped. “That’s what it’s all about.”

“I loved playing with you,” Revis responded. “You were one of the best safeties I ever played with. We had a great time and a great chemistry. I’m happy to be a part of Super Bowl XLIX.”

Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who played against Revis during his time with the Green Bay Packers, said he has “a lot of respect” for the four-time All-Pro.

“He’s just a super talented one-on-one guy who seemed to play his best games against big-name receivers,” Rodgers said, according to the Jets’ team site. 

“A ton of respect for him because you definitely had to be aware of what was going on and where he was at. He didn’t have any weaknesses. … Very well deserving to be in the Hall of Fame.”

Former Jets defensive lineman Joe Klecko is also getting inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame on Saturday.
