The debate about who the NFL's best cornerback is always a hot topic and Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Darrelle Revis is ready to take back that title.

But first, he weighed in on Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman.

"Don't get me wrong he's an entertainer, but he shouldn't have said that," Revis said Wednesday, via NFL.com. "The reporter asked him a question about the team and he went on to answer about me, me, me, me. So that is how I took it. He didn't answer the question in the right way."

"I feel like I'm the best," he said. "Deion Sanders probably feels like he is the best. Everybody has their own personal opinion. And that is how you go with it and I think that is what makes it fun."

Revis made this year's Pro Bowl a season after missing part of 2012 with a torn ACL. He had 50 tackles and two interceptions this season.

 "(Sherman is) saying he's the best," Revis said. "I'm saying I'm the best, Joe Haden thinks he's the best. You can go by numbers, you can go by the ball not being thrown to your side so many times, there are so many variables in it. But at the same time, we are all talented players."
