Caesar (6’3/254) is a former four star recruit who saw limited action during his initial two years with the Cougars. While he posted impressive production in 2023 with 9.5 sacks and 13.5 TFL’s, he possesses athletic limitations that will hold him back in the NFL. At the combine he solely weighed in and ran a 49th percentile 4.89s 40 yard dash. The Ridge Point HS product spent the majority of his time lined up at EDGE, but played about 14% of his total snaps at off-ball linebacker, a pattern that will not continue at the next level. As a pass rusher his bull rush may be his best move, but as a subpar athlete, he fails to convert speed to power effectively, with his charge often being stunted by tackles with heavy anchors. Unfortunately, he fairs no better as a finesse rusher. Caesar earned a solid 76.6 PFF run defense grade, but would have likely scored better if he did not waste quite as many snaps off the ball. Due to his athletic ceiling he is unlikely to become an effective pass rusher in the NFL, but if he can continue to stack blockers and make plays in the run, he could eventually become a part of your early down edge rotation.
