Revis admitted he didn't feel 100 percent healthy until Week 4 or 5 last season, when he was playing for the New England Patriots. He still managed to make the All-Pro team, becoming a vital piece on the Patriots' Super Bowl championship team."

Revis said he didn't feel 100% until 2 years after the injury.

I've been skeptical about Burfict playing this year, but I seem to remember the biggest factor in the Jets trading Revis was the fact that he wanted a new deal, or a restructuring of his contract after every season.
