Good stuff. I've always liked Caesar.

Might want to make that "aN NFL dream".

Your best effort. Great story and Cesar is a beast for sticking with it. I hope he makes an active roster next year. Hopefully he can last a few years and get a pension.

Word. As the infamous PLSS would say, "good shit"

Good story. Only thing that bothers me is that he almost comes off as "molded" TW style at the end. I'm just gonna hope he doesn't want to publicly say anything bad about his former coach.

Judging from his actions he has a winners attitude which precludes making excuses and bad mouthing others, even if justified. I'm sure he knows Losingham was a joke but knows he can't gain anything by talking about him.

Great story though. Feel bad for what he has gone through but his reaching the NFL is really amazing. He definitely has a lot of wisdom to offer high school and college kids coming up the ranks. I hope he makes a roster this year. Sounds like the type of guy Carroll would want.

He played in 7 games and 147 snaps last year. Good for him.

I will never forget Caesar blocking a point after attempt against Fresno State... and thinking about how good he was going to be. I am happy he was able to bust his ass and overcome a coaching change he had no control over.
