Former NFL C LeCharles Bentley issues scathing message on agents
In a long Facebook post, Bentley discusses the pratfalls of dealing with agents and what college players should know about the recruiting process.

Former NFL center LeCharles Bentley, who now trains current and prospective offensive linemen, wrote a scathing Facebook post regarding the agent business and what college players should know.

Most interesting in that Bentley said the mother of a college player who is going into the draft this year asked for $40,000 for herself as an inducement to get her son to sign with an agent. Bentley did not identify the mother.

The question is whether the NFL Players Association will look into the matter. According to a source, the player signed with an agent. If the $40,000 was paid, that could be viewed as an in-ducement to sign, which is a violation of the NFLPA agent regulations.

Aside from that, Bentley warned players in very strong terms about the pratfalls of signing with agents who offer money, even marketing guarantees, and advised players on what qualities they should look for in an agent.

OHIO STATE GREAT LECHARLES BENTLEY LOOKING TO CHANGE THE GAME, EMPOWER OFFENSIVE LINEMEN WITH NEW AGENCY, AMDG SPORTS

114021_h.jpg


AMDG Sports isn’t your typical sports agency.

Officially launched in April by former Ohio State star LeCharles Bentley, AMDG Sports won’t be catering to athletes across multiple sports, or even to all football players. Bentley’s newest venture is specifically focused on representing offensive linemen, which he believes is the best way to meet their needs while also utilizing his own strengths.

“One thing my mother taught me early on is you can’t be everything to everybody. And that’s something that I’ve stuck with my entire life,” Bentley told Eleven Warriors. “Generally speaking, the type of athletes that I enjoy being around are people that are like myself. And offensive linemen tend to be more like me. So with all that being said, this simply allows me on a personal level to stay strong where I’m strong and be around people that I enjoy being around and having a focus that’s very specific. And I can provide a very specific set of skills and opportunities to that particular group of people.”

While AMDG Sports is a new venture for Bentley, working with NFL offensive linemen and helping them get the most out of themselves isn’t. Since 2008, Bentley has run Offensive Line Performance, a training center for offensive linemen, now located in Arizona after initially launching in Avon, Ohio.

AMDG and OLP are separate entities, Bentley said, but the two will work hand in hand. His roster of AMDG clients – which already includes nearly 20 NFL offensive linemen, such as fellow Ohio State alumni Branden Bowen, Taylor Decker, Pat Elflein, Jamarco Jones and Isaiah Prince – is made up of players who also train at OLP.

In his new role, Bentley “will advise NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent, Sr., on player performance and the development of resources, enhancements, metrics and best practices designed to enhance the game. He will also work closely with NFL youth, high school football and other key stakeholders to promote the growth of football across all levels,” according to the NFL's news release.
