All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis has been charged with four felonies and a misdemeanor after an alleged altercation in Pittsburgh last weekend.
But is he the victim?
ESPN reports Revis was charged on Thursday with two felony counts of aggravated assault, a felony count each of robbery and conspiracy, and one misdemeanor count of terroristic threats.
It all started early Sunday morning when two men told police they were punched by Revis during a verbal altercation on the South Side of Pittsburgh.

Revis’ lawyer, Blaine Jones, maintains his client was tried to avoid any confrontation, was assaulted and sought medical attention after the incident.
Jones said Revis will turn himself in, telling a local TV station: “He’s not going to run from a warrant.”
Revis grew up in Pennsylvania and was a star at the University of Pittsburgh.
A Jets spokesman said Thursday that the team was aware of the incident and had spoken to Revis, according to the ESPN report.
