Physical Attributes – Kaleb is not overly tall or long and has a lean body. He shows he has good twitch and feet. He has excellent play speed, is a straight-line runner who also possesses excellent burst and acceleration. He exhibits solid feet with limited make you miss ability, but can use his shear speed to out run the competition. Kaleb is not overly dynamic but athletically is very good and can do a lot of things.
Position Specific Skills – With Kaleb being listed as an athlete, ranked as a WR and playing RB it is difficult to exactly see what he is and how to evaluate him. I am going to evaluate at RB due to the fact that his physical attributes along with his high school film points him in that direction. To start with, Kaleb has excellent feet, balance and body control. He can use a stutter step at full speed to knock the defender of balance. He shows excellent burst and acceleration and has very good play speed. His long speed is solid but not elite with a 10.84 verified 100 and a in track. Kaleb relies on his elite instincts, awareness and vision to set up the defenders and then takes advantage of his play speed to make explosive plays. He shows solid hands on limited exposure along with his blocking ability. Can lower his head to run over defenders or just plain out run them.
Overall – Kaleb plays with a high IQ, is very instinctive and is always a step ahead of defenders with the ball in his hands. He is highly productive and can run. He reminds me of Rex Burkhead from the New England Patriots. Nothing flashy, but just gets the job done. A player that exhibits a high motor and toughness you want to see on every play. He is a player who can be used in many ways and who can produce in many ways, including on special teams.
