Ceasar Ruiz – C – 2017

STRENGTHS: Thickly built with very good strength. Smart player who understands blocking assignments and always engages the right guy. Powerful at the point of attack gets a good push in the run game. Has very active hands to shock defenders in pass pro. Fights through the whistle and looks to punish opponents. … AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT: Needs to watch pad level and keep feet moving as can go dead on contact. Needs to utilize good angles and could struggle to adjust to targets on the move. His technique in the run game can be inconsistent at times. … BOTTOM LINE: Ruiz is a powerful lineman with a low center of gravity and outstanding awareness. He does not quite have the height or athleticism to play other positions along the offensive front, but we feel he has the potential to be a very good center at the next level.
