Caleb Jeffrey Hanie (born September 11, 1985) is an American former professional football quarterback.
He played college football at Colorado State and was signed by the Chicago Bears as an undrafted free agent in 2008.
He made his first regular season contribution as a Bear towards the end of their blowout loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on October 25, 2009.
On October 10, 2010, with Cutler on the bench due to a concussion suffered the previous week, Collins started the game but proved ineffective, throwing four interceptions.
Hanie entered the 2010 NFC Championship Game as the third-string quarterback in the third quarter after starter Jay Cutler left with a second-degree sprain of his MCL and second-string quarterback Todd Collins left with a shoulder injury.
After a back-and-forth preseason, Hanie won a battle with Nate Enderle for the second position on the depth chart.
Against the San Diego Chargers in week 11, starting quarterback Jay Cutler suffered a broken thumb on his throwing hand.
Consequently, he was charged with intentional grounding and was ordered to runoff the time remaining on the clock, preserving a Raiders win.
[15] Hanie signed a one-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens on April 16, 2013, as competition for Tyrod Taylor for the backup quarterback position.
[23] In May 2016, Hanie was a passenger in a fatal crash in Barrington Hills, Illinois, in which 35-year-old Salvatore DiMucci died.
