OT: For those with an affection for OL play

LeCharles Bentley is absolutely one of the finest teachers of the game. If you wondered why PSU went from having an awful OL to being one of the top units in CFB, it’s because the invested in what this guy is teaching. It’s also a good story about a guy who struggled with what a lot of players face when their careers end.

The video also gives a peek at some of the technique that’s taught. OL is a very complex and technical position at the highest levels.

Anyway, I thought I’d share.

Thanks Dan, good stuff. I remember the disastrous end to his career after signing with the Browns. Just a very unfortunate circumstance. Glad he’s found a way to stay with the game he loves.

I've followed him pretty closely since he started his clinics. I've tried to point a few guys his way. It's kind of amazing how some of the minor details matter so much. Look at what Aaron Donald is doing in some of the "knife fighting" videos that have been posted. All about quickness, balance, and hands.
