Summary:

Danny Trevethan is an overlooked prospect.  Playing on a mediocre team without much help he has had a great career.  He might fall due to the fact he can only play in a 4-3 defense at WLB.  That being said much like Briggs he impacts the game as a tackler, blitzer, and in coverage.  Teams should not sleep on this kid.  Teams like the Colts, Bengals, Browns, Giants, Eagles, Lions, and Saints could use him.

If a team can keep offensive linemen off of him he’ll be very productive.
