Now this is cool. On Monday, the New Orleans Saints announced that former two-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman LeCharles Bentley will be returning to the team not as a coach or player, but as a "personnel and performance consultant."

quote:

Drafted by the Saints in the second round out of Ohio State back in 2002, Bentley is the only offensive lineman in team history to be chosen for the Pro Bowl at two different positions, first as a right guard (in 2003) and later at center (2005).


Interesting article that mentions past players still involved in the organization. Bentley played at a very high level and was likely in the top five centers in the league.

Bentley Offensive Line Academy, which was the world's first brick and mortar training center for offensive line athletes. LeCharles has worked himself in to becoming the world's leading authority in developing offensive line athletes.


I knew He had established some type of training center But could not remember the specifics.

It's unfortunate that you are too f..king stupid to realize the story is relevant but not surprising when you have the I.Q. of an Oyster.

still sucks what happened to him in Cleveland. Wanted to live out his dream of playing for his hometown team and never even plays a snap for them.

Go look at some of the interviews he made after he signed with them. He was so damn happy to get a chance to play in Cleveland which I can't imagine many players will ever say

He had it rough for sure. I guess I misremember but I thought he left here on terrible terms.

It was after Katrina and he wanted to play for his hometown team. Was so bummed when he left but happy he is doing ok. He was one of my favorites from that era
