File Under: Darrelle Revis, David Harris, All-Rookie, Patrick Willis
01/11 — I juimped the gun by a day with Thursday's Radar entry on Darrelle Revis and David Harris in this sense: I could have packaged that information with today's news that Revis and Harris were both named to the NFL All-Rookie team presented by the Professional Football Writers of America and Pro Football Weekly.
That makes it six Jets to gain All-Rookie recognition in the last three years and eight in the last five, and all eight are still on the roster.
Harris was named as an OLB on the All-Rookie defense, which apparently would line up in a 4-3 if it ever took the field as a unit. Patrick Willis, the San Francisco LB who gained Defensive Rookie of the Year status, is obviously respected greatly by the PFW/PFWA electorate, since he was named MLB not just on the rookie team but on the All-NFL team as well.
To make the climb to All-Pro in the future, Revis will have to take aim at New England's Asante Samuel and San Diego's Antonio Cromartie, the All-Pro corners on the team voted by the members of the PFWA and the editors at PFW.
Harris will have to make some room among the Patriots' Mike Vrabel, the Cowboys' DeMarcus Ware and Willis, the three All-Pro backers, and keep an eye on the Panthers' Jon Beason, the other All-Rookie LB.
No Jets were named to that all-league team. The Associated Press also selects an All-NFL team and those two teams combined form the league's official All-Pro team from year to year.
Here are the Jets' All-Rookie players for the past 10 seasons:
| Season | Jets All-Rookie Players |
| 1998 | T Jason Fabini |
| 1999 | G Randy Thomas |
| 2000 | TE Anthony Becht |
| 2001-02 | None |
| 2003 | DT Dewayne Robertson |
| 2004 | LB Jonathan Vilma |
| 2005 | S Kerry Rhodes, K Mike Nugent |
| 2006 | T D'Brickashaw Ferguson, C Nick Mangold |
| 2007 | CB Darrelle Revis, LB David Harris |

The whole stadium applauded when he supposedly got hurt. I think the facts are simple. Along with the OC, it was like we were playing lawyer ball out there, I never saw a gut call, always settle for a field goal, even on 4th and 1 or losing bad."
