Karon Ceasar is a unique prospect that I am not too sure what position he will play at the enxt level. We currently see Ceasar at running back, wildcat, and in the secondary. A true believer in his speed, film shows Ceasar losing ground in order to gain an angle on an defender. Moreover, simply put he has the ability to beat linebackers to the sideline. Disciplined, Ceasar follows his blockers and lets them create for him. As a pass catcher, he can out-jump opponents, Mossing them, as well as make acrobatic plays anywhere on the field. What most likely leads to Ceasar’s success, however, his tendency to keep his feet moving when running. This allows him to turn small gains into huge gains. Smart with his body, Ceasar will duck out of bounds to avoid a big hit. Defensively he we see Ceasar get solid breaks on the ball and while in pursuit, effectively squeezes ball carriers to the sideline. Again, trusting his athleticism, Ceasar feels can he can break on the ball either way with equal proficiency. He will also serve a big hit when the opportunity arises. One point of feedback I have for Ceasar would be regarding defense. Trust what you see and do not hesitate! Lock into your keys, see, diagnose, and go with reckless abandon.
