Caleb Daniel (born 7 July 1996) is a professional Australian rules footballer who plays for the Western Bulldogs in the Australian Football League (AFL). Known for his precise short kicking from half back, Daniel has been recognised statistically as one of the most effective short kicks in the game. When he was recruited in 2014 he was listed as the shortest player (standing at 171 cm) in the AFL,[2] and is one of the few players who regularly wears a protective helmet, having done so since his playing days at junior level.
