Bears' Kyle Long: Danny Trevathan smells distractingly good

The Chicago Bears got a major defensive upgrade when they signed former Denver Broncos linebacker Danny Trevathan to a four-year deal in March.

However, it was Trevathan's scent - not his skill - that first caught the attention of Bears guard Kyle Long.

"He's one of those guys that kind of has an aura about him," Long said, according to Chris Emma of CBS Chicago. "He walks in with all his chains on, he looks sharp every day like he just left a video shoot.

"You see him on the field and you block him, and he kind of smells good, he wears cologne. But then you get caught up in the aroma and you get hit in the chin and you get hit under the chin. And if you do get your hands on him to block him, he will fight like a crazy SOB to get off you."

That's quite the description.
