Kentucky’s Danny Trevathan is already making a name for himself in the NFL Preseason as he had 2 tackles in a 31-3 win over the Chicago Bears.
Two tackles might not sound like a lot, but Trevathan is already showing he has a ton of football knowledge and the speed to compete every Sunday.
Here is analysis of Trevathan’s game and you can check out the entire article at [URL=”http://www.itsalloverfatman.com/broncos/entry/in-review-danny-trevathan-vs-the-bears”]Itsalloverfatman.com:[/URL]

[COLOR=#333333][FONT=georgia]Something that has to be noted is that Danny was able to diagnose the play, spot his gap, and fire through it, all in a split moment. When you talk about speed with a linebacker, the speed of his reflexes is essential – Danny’s already moving when some players are still mired in the recognition phase. He also has the foot speed and balance to cut through the clutter of the line unimpeded. He has that linebacker attitude – the joy of hitting hard – and yet he maintains very good fundamentals. You can see why he led the SEC in tackling for two straight years – he generally has his head tucked to the side, wraps up like a python, strikes with the shoulder, and hits [I]through[/I] his target, rather than [I]into[/I] it. That’s too often a rarity in the NFL.[/FONT][/COLOR]

The other thing that you noticed about him extended far beyond this one play – he always seemed to be around the ball. I liked what I saw of him in coverage, too. It’s only the first preseason game, but he’s starting out impressively.

If I was a Denver fan I would not only be excited about getting Peyton Manning, but I was be thriilled that I have a possible future defensive star in Kentucky’s Danny Trevathan.
