Cesar Ruiz

Overall, a fluid athlete who would be best suited in a zone blocking scheme. Excels in pulling situations and when he's asked to climb to the 2nd level. Struggles with momentum shifting in the open field and can often lose a smaller defender through a quick cut, which gives them access right to the oncoming ball carrier. Good hand placement and plays with a good pad level. Good frame and base for the iOL position. Struggles with true anchor ability, but wouldn't need that as consistently in a zone blocking scheme. Overall, good player, but is limited in his landing spots.
