New England Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis feels that he and quarterback Tom Brady bring the best out of each other during their practice sessions.
Revis joined the Patriots in the off-season following a one-year spell with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he believes that the high-standard of performances shown during training camp will benefit the franchise on the pitch.
He told reporters: "You know, Tom is – I'll tell you what, it's not because I'm his teammate – I played against him a number of years when I was in New York – he's one of the best to ever play.
"You can see it even in practice by going against him every day. He's a hard worker and he brings the best out of you. It's awesome, man. Going back and forth – I'm not going to call it a competition.
"We're teammates, we're just trying to get each other better and we're trying to work hard together. Sometimes he gets a play. It goes back and forth."
Revis recorded 50 tackles, one sack and two interceptions for the Buccaneers in the 2013 season.
