Attorneys representing Darrelle Revis responded to a video released by TMZ that purportedly was taped in the aftermath of the incident that resulted in four felony charges against the embattled New York Jets cornerback, issuing a statement late Sunday night that suggests the video will help clear their client.

Darrelle Revis faces four felony charges in connection with the Feb. 12 altercation.

"Darrelle Revis absolutely, categorically and positively did not knock out anyone, did not conspire with anyone to commit an assault, did not say 'shut up before I knock your ass out next,' and surely did not 'rob' another of a cell phone," Robert G. Del Greco Jr. and Mark Fiorilli said in a statement released to USA TODAY Sports and other media outlets, hours after the TMZ video surfaced. "The voice and admissions made on the video are NOT that of Darrelle Revis. We have no doubt but that further investigation relative to the clothing and voice verification will corroborate the above assertions."

The 11-second video shows two men on the ground, apparently unconscious, while a voice is heard saying, "I knocked both of these (expletive) out," before threatening to do likewise to another person. Revis is not seen on the video.

Revis allegedly physically assaulted the two men during an altercation on the south side of Pittsburgh in the wee hours of the morning on Feb. 12. He faces a preliminary hearing on Thursday after turning himself in to authorities on Friday, when he was released on a non-cash bond.
