New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis has insisted that he has no sympathy for his old teammate Tom Brady following his four-game suspension due to the deflategate scandal.
Revis left the New England Patriots at the end of the 2014 season after the club's Super Bowl triumph, but played in the AFC championship game where the deflatefate debacle arose.
The 29-year-old believes that more has been made of the story because of Brady's notoriety, along with the Patriots' past misdemeanour in the spygate scandal in the 2007 season.
However, he is adamant that if the NFL deemed the crime to be worthy of punishment then the quarterback had to be penalised.
"Everybody's blowing it up because it is Tom Brady," Revis told the New York Daily News.
"I understand that. But if [the NFL] feels he did the crime or he did something and they want to penalise them, then that's that.
"[The Patriots] have a history of doing stuff. You can't hide that. Tom was there when they did that stuff in the past."
The Patriots were docked their first-round pick in the 2016 Draft and a fourth-round selection in 2017 along with a $1m (£641,000) fine.
