Starting His Career

Caleb Holley began his professional journey in 2014. He joined the Buffalo Bills as an undrafted free agent. This means he wasn't chosen in the main player draft but was signed later. Even though he tried hard, he didn't stay with the Bills.

In early 2016, Caleb played for the Sioux Falls Storm in the Indoor Football League. He had a great season, catching 40 passes for 650 yards. He also scored 21 touchdowns! Caleb helped the Storm win the United Bowl championship that year. He was even named the IFL Offensive Player-of-the-Week once.
