Ross Tucker Podcast
“One guy that really stood out to me was Elijah Arroyo from Miami… This guy is a higher level receiving tight end.”
@GregCosell with a surprise name when @RossTuckerNFL asked him which TE prospect jumped out to him:
Jacob Gibbs
Former Miami TE Elijah Arroyo had the fastest ball-carrier time (21.8 mph) of any TE in 2024 - NCAA or NFL.
Probably don't need to worry about his lack of athletic testing #NFLDraft2025
Elijah Arroyo can create legit separation.
He disappears at times, but there are flashes of big receiving upside for sure!
Elijah Arroyo clean out-breaking with a hands catch away from defender
Elijah Arroyo is not just long and athletic, there's strength and physicality to his game.
It shows up in blocking reps. Also in movement through contact as a route-runner.
Multiple injuries delayed Elijah Arroyo's time to shine, but his 2024 film is very intriguing!
Miami used him all over -- backfield, slot, motion man
He's a fluid mover and could be a steal in the NFL Draft. Inexperienced with lots to learn, but the tools are all there!
Doug Farrar
Miami TE Elijah Arroyo has a compelling second- and third-level acceleration that is magnified when he's using burst motion. I would think that any NFL team using a lot of that would find him quite interesting.
@SleeperBrowns
#Browns are meeting with Miami TE Elijah Arroyo tomorrow, per @AdamSchefter
73.6 receiving grade per @PFF
6’4” 245lb
Hit a top playing speed of 21.8 mph - only 6 players hit a faster top speed in the NFL in 2024, per @NextGenStats & @The33rdTeamFB

Multiple teams had Elijah Arroyo as a top 20-25 overall talent in the draft save durability concerns. Seattle gets him at No. 50 overall.
Emmanwori and Arroyo stand out
Seattle’s two second-round picks – South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori and Miami tight end Elijah Arroyo – both have a unique combination of size and athleticism. And that certainly was evident on the practice field.
The 6-foot-5, 254-pound Arroyo seemingly glides across the field, moving with impressive fluidity for his size. He also showed off his massive catch radius, hauling in a seam pass from Milroe with a leaping grab that capped Friday’s practice in style.
