Jackets In The Pros: Danny Trevathan
Re-Grading Denver Broncos' 2012 Rookies at
the End of the Regular Season

The Bleacher Report
January 9, 2013
The Denver Broncos concluded the 2012 regular season with a 13-3 mark, winning the AFC West
divisional title and clinching the No. 1 seed in the conference in the process.
It was more than any Bronco fan expected heading into the season. Even with the Broncos coming off a
divisional title and a playoff victory from 2011 and the acquisition of Peyton Manning, there were high
expectations for this team to perform well.
An AFC West title and maybe a conference championship game were in the cards entering the season in
the expectations of many.
However, the Broncos exceeded those expectations big time. The Broncos not only concluded the regular
season with an 11-game winning streak, but clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
The Broncos now wait to play the Baltimore Ravens in Denver's first playoff game this Saturday in the
Divisional Playoffs.
The Broncos' 2012 draft class featured seven selections, three of these selections which were acquired
in player trades.
A few of Denver's rookies made an impact during one of the greatest regular seasons in franchise history.
Who are the rookies of the 2012 draft class that shined brightest?
Danny Trevathan (Leesburg High School, Leesburg Florida) was Denver's last selection of the
2012 NFL Draft.
Danny was drafted with the 188th overall pick in the sixth round. This selection was acquired by the
Denver Broncos as a part of the deal that sent Tim Tebow to the New York Jets shortly after Peyton
Manning signed with the Broncos.
Considering Trevathan was a late-round selection with very little expectations coming in, Danny had a
good rookie season. He ranked second amongst all Broncos rookies in tackles, behind Derek Wolfe, with
33 total tackles. He had a sack and three pass deflections on the season.
From the onset in training camp, the sixth-round draft selection out of Kentucky made an impact. Before
Derek Wolfe took over the starting position at left defensive end after Jason Hunter's season-ending
injury, Trevathan was the Denver rookie that was making the greatest progress at the beginning of
training camp and the preseason. He was already playing in nickel packages.
Although his playing time during the first few regular season games didn't match the playing time he
received early on in camp, Trevathan eventually found his way into the defensive rotation and was
featured in key defensive packages throughout the season.
After one year, Denver's last pick of the 2012 NFL Draft can be considered a gem.
Grade: B+
