Trevathan did not drop the ball at the 2 yardline, he dropped it at the 1 yardline.

I know what your point is, and I agreed with it. Almost every time that it has been called, it was a clear-cut, and ruled a drop upon review. As I stated, players almost never drop the ball at the 2 yardline and rarely drop it at the 1-yardline. They almost always drop it 1/2 of a yard early or less. Trevathan's dropping against the Ravens was a rare case in which a player dropped a full yard early.

I just did some research, and believe it or not, I found a player who dropped the ball at the 4-yardline ........ the 4-yardline !!! )

It was in a I-AA game between William & Mary and Hampton University.

Fast-forward to the 10-minute mark of this video.
