Broncos Draft Board: Consistent Michigan center Cesar Ruiz could be immediate NFL starter

EDITOR’S NOTE: One of a series of profiles on draft prospects who would fit the Broncos’ needs.

The Broncos need a center who is comfortable leading from the moment he steps into the team’s facility.

Michigan’s Cesar Ruiz may be that guy. He just sounded like a center at the scouting combine.

“I’m in charge of the whole show,” he said. “If something goes wrong, I’ll take the heat for it. If things are going good, I’ll take the shine for it as well.”

That accountable mindset should make Ruiz attractive to the Broncos, who are looking for their third center in as many years.
