Third year defensive back Kyle Wilson has some big shoes to fill.

Wilson is responsible for replacing New York Jets All-Pro defensive back Derrelle Revis. Revis suffered a season-ending injury with a torn ACL.

Wilson will be making his first start against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Defensive coordinator Mike Pettine said no one can step in and replace Revis, which is a true statement since Revis is one of a few shut down corner backs in the league.

Wilson will be asked to do a good job in place of Revis, but he is taking his promotion in stride right now. Pettine said there will be no major changes on defensive without arguably the best defensive player in the NFL.
