   ...
   Bethea is visiting Indianapolis today and with good reason.He's the physical type of player that they've been adding to their secondary since last year's draft when they selected Michigan's Marlin Jackson with their first-round pick
   
   Bethea is a hitter with excellent range.He's led his team in tackles for the past three seasons, including an incredible sophomore year where he posted 109 tackles (71 solo), two fumble recoveries, three forced fumbles, and a blocked a punt.
   
   As humble as he is talented, Bethea said, "I was just going out there and doing the things that Coach wanted me to do."
   
   Since Bethea has thrived in Howard University's Cover 2 defensive scheme, it's no small wonder that teams like the Colts are showing such strong interest in him.And the attraction is definitely mutual.
   
   "I love the way Bob Sanders plays, and I'd love to be in a system like that, having real physical play all the time," he said."I feel really comfortable in that scheme."
   
   The transition to the NFL may be easier for Bethea than some other draft-eligible players, because learning from someone who understands the NFL and it's nuances compared to college-level play won't be new to him.

   ...

   ...

   "When I left to train, I just wanted to be bigger, stronger and faster," he explained."I went down and trained really hard - took it really seriously."
   
   Bethea has rightfully earned a reputation as a smart, aggressive player.He's drawn serious interest from no less than eight teams, most of whom are playoff-caliber clubs such as Seattle.Find out more about him, the teams that are showing interest, and his thoughts on playing for the Colts in this exclusive interview for our ColtPower Insiders.
