Kaleb Blaha's statistics don't seem real.

But they are, and they're part of what helped earn him a chance to make it in the NFL with the New Orleans Saints.

Blaha is from Division III Wisconsin-River Falls, and he's going to Saints rookie minicamp, the program shared on Sunday.

Who is Kaleb Blaha?

Blaha is a quarterback from the Division III level, where he put up insane stats at UW-River Falls.

The 6-foot-2 righty will now try to make the Saints on a rookie minicamp tryout.

Kaleb Blaha stats

Just in 2025, Blaha:

Threw for 4,971 yards and 41 TDs
Ran for 1,218 yards and 18 TDs.

In his career, he had three separate seasons of at least 1,000 rushing yards, and 3,735 rushing yards in total.

He threw for a total of 11,004 yards and 92 touchdowns while completing 65% of his passes.

Saints QB depth chart

The Saints have Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler and Zach Wilson under contract.

They've used Hunter Dekkers as depth in the past, but he's in the UFL right now.

Blaha will have to perform well in minicamp to stick around for the rest of the summer, and at that point, he'll likely be angling for a spot on the practice squad.
