Tampa Bay Buccaneers' new defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier has described Darrelle Revis as a "terrific player".

The cornerback joined the NFC South side in a trade with the New York Jets ahead of the 2013 NFL season.

Frazier, who was fired from his role as head coach of the Minnesota Vikings last month, told reporters: "Darrelle Revis is a great player in our league, a great corner and has been for a number of years now.

"As I mentioned, I had a chance to watch some common opponents and see some Tampa tape and he's a terrific player without question. There is always room in any system for great players.

"We're going to do all we can to maximise his talents and utilise his gifts. He is going to be one of the key guys to our success without question. We'll do whatever we have to do to maximise his talents. He's a great player."

Revis recovered 50 tackles, a sack and two interceptions during his first season with the Buccaneers.
