"Kaleb Eleby was a 3-star prospect out of Pattonville high school in Maryland Heights, MO. Eleby earned offers from FCS schools and several MAC schools. He committed to the Western Michigan Broncos and played in the final 5 games when the starter went down. He threw for 1,092 yards even though the Broncos went 1-4 during that stretch. Eleby redshirted in 2019. When 2020 rolled around, Kaleb Eleby was the starter playing in a reduced 6 game season. Eleby threw for at least 200 yards and score in each game.
In 2021, Eleby’s best season coincided with Moore’s breakout where he went for over 1,200 yards. He threw for 2 or more touchdowns in 7 of the 13 games he played and finished the year with over 3,200 passing yards. However, on a per game basis he declined from 283 yards per game in 2020 to 252 yards per game in 2021. At the Combine, he tested poorly in the few drills he performed.
Kaleb Eleby was an UDFA following the NFL 2022 Draft and received an NFL rookie camp invite from the Seattle Seahawks. With what feels like a wide open QB room including the likes of Drew Lock, Geno Smith, and Jacob Eason, Eleby could potentially be the 3rd string backup. The Seahawks are a meritocracy, so his lack of draft capital shouldn’t matter.
