Danny Trevathan was a defensive star at Kentucky for four seasons from 2008-2011. Trevathan tallied 374 career tackles as the signal caller for the defense. He led the SEC in Tackles for two consecutive seasons in 2010 and 2011. Trevathan currently holds the record for most career forced fumbles in the SEC since 2005.

Trevathan was drafted in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos. At this point in his five-year NFL career, Danny Trevathan has accumulated 368 total tackles. Danny Trevathan also helped Denver win “Super Bowl L” as Peyton Manning led the Broncos to victory over the Carolina Panthers.

Trevathan spent the 2016 season with a struggling Chicago Bears team. Injury plagued the former Kentucky Star’s season as he only participated in nine contests.
