It only took a play into training camp before tears of sorrow streamed down the faces of Cleveland Browns fans. The team's prized off-season free agent signee, LeCharles Bentley, from the Cleveland area, torn his knee. It is such a disappointment.

The two-time Pro Bowler, Charles Bentley probably dreamed of this very moment. Bentley graduated from Cleveland St. Ignatius High School and attended The Ohio State University for college. When Bentley was signed by the Browns, the team penciled him at center. Now, the team will have to cope without his services for this season.

Bentley has established himself as one of the NFL's premier centers. He was just the man the Browns needed for the job. While the Cleveland Browns had a 1000 yard rusher in Reuben Droughns, he struggled to make the mark. The leadership and blocking ability of Bentley was supposed to produce more running yards. Hopefully, Bentley returns to the Browns in 2007, without missing a beat.
