Cheeseman was unranked by 247Sports.com coming out of Lincoln High School in Gahanna, Ohio.[2] He committed to Michigan on December 17, 2015.[3] Cheeseman was drafted by the Washington Football Team in the sixth round (225th overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft.[4] He signed his four-year rookie contract on May 13, 2021.[5]
Following multiple bad snaps by Cheeseman in the 2023 Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos, head coach Ron Rivera announced that the team would be bringing in free agent long snappers for work outs.[6] Despite working out five different long snappers, the Commanders chose to stick with Cheeseman.[7] On December 18, 2023, he was released by the Commanders.[8] The release followed the team's Week 15 game against the Los Angeles Rams, in which Cheesman botched two snaps, one on a punt and the other on an extra point.[9]
Cheeseman plans to study dentistry at Ohio State University once his NFL career is over.[10] He took the Dental Admission Test at Columbus State Community College and scored in the 92nd percentile.[10] Cheeseman was previously a research assistant in the field while at Michigan, where he co-authored a research paper on an orthodontic appliance for fixing underbites.[10] While not preparing for his dentistry career after the NFL, he is an aspiring Lego collector. His favorite sets include the Lego Death Star, and the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser.
