In nine games, he had been in on 70 tackles \u2013 putting him on pace for 124, which would\u2019ve been the second highest of his career. He also had one sack and one forced fumble. He suffered an arm injury in Week 10 and didn\u2019t play again, but wasn\u2019t put on injured reserve until mid-December.<\/p>\n<p>Trevathan played football in high school at Leesburg, Florida. He then played in college at Kentucky, where he made First-Team All-SEC in 2010 and second team in 2011. In 2012 he was drafted in the sixth round by the<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/broncos\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Denver Broncos<\/a>, and he remained there for the duration of his rookie contract through 2015.<\/p>\n<p>2013 proved to be his best season, where he got a career-high 129 tackles (88 solo) and two sacks. He also had three interceptions, ten passes defensed, and three forced fumbles \u2013 all of those being career highs as well. He missed almost the entire 2014 season due to injury, but bounced back in 2015 with another 100+ tackle season, and also helped his team win the Super Bowl. In that Super Bowl, he had eight tackles and a fumble recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Trevathan signed with the Bears in 2016. In his four years there, he\u2019s only played one full season. However, in that one year (2018), he had his third 100+ tackle season. And in all three of the other years, he was on pace for 100 as well if not for injuries (as well as a brief suspension in 2017 due to a controversial hit on<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/A\/AdamDa01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Davante Adams<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>Trevathan thus far in his career has 609 tackles (427 solo), nine sacks, eight interceptions, 35 passes defensed, six forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"3INIdXgOS-JuaoE77qrYRg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1167694792\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'3INIdXgOS-JuaoE77qrYRg',sig:'wPhXwZdFWenl9QkhGn3UzpAJvqfpo0KXOKrBTsIdbgs=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1167694792',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Danny Trevathan had his 2019 season cut short due to injury, but still recorded in nine games 70 tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2355,"featured_media":81602,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[42,3254,61,40],"class_list":["post-81599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-news","tag-chicago-bears","tag-danny-trevathan","tag-football","tag-nfl"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2355"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81599\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
