Caesar Rentie was born in Kansas City, Kansas, and played at Hartshorne High School in Oklahoma. He played tackle at Oklahoma, including on the 1985 national title team. Chicago drafted him in the seventh round, 189th overall, in 1988, and he played five games for the Bears that season. He later spent time with Buffalo, Indianapolis, Detroit and Dallas and played for the World League's New York/New Jersey Knights in 1991 and 1992. Pro Football Reference (PFR) lists him as Caesar Harris Rentie: born November 10, 1964 in Hartshorne, OK; high school Hartshorne (OK); 6-3, 293 lb; position T. PFR shows him with CHI 1988 (5 games, 0 Approximate Value). PFR stat line: 0 holding, 0 false start, 0 other penalties. PFR shows no Pro Bowl or All-Pro honors. Source conflict: the bio's source gives his birthplace as Kansas City, Kansas, and PFR gives Hartshorne, Oklahoma.
