TE Elijah Arroyo, SEA (1 Viewer)

Only one season of productivity, but he's getting some buzz as a 2nd rounder in the NFL draft. Some even has him as the #3 TE in this class over Fannin. I bet he tears up the combine. He's 6'4 245 with speed for the position.
 
Might be this year's Ben Sinnott, as far as a guy who wasn't really on people's radar, and suddenly he's going in round 2. I think the TEs after Warren/Loveland all kinda bunch together and come down to personal preference. I can see an argument for any of Arroyo, Fannin, Helm, or Taylor as TE3.

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 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!
 
High on my list of Tight Ends, watched him a lot last season and he looks like a playmaker at the next level
I might be selling him short with an Njoku comparison, he's got the potential to be better
He plays more like a receiver than a traditional Tight End
 
News, notes and observations from Seahawks rookie minicamp

Excerpt:

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.
 
I liked Taylor the best out of the next tier of TE’s past the top 2 because he’s polished and in a great situation but really like that whole next tier a great deal.

I think Arroyo has more natural receiving ability than any TE in this class but he’s also the rawest IMO. We’ve been spoiled by some great rookie TE seasons lately but he might be more like what we are more used to where he’s going to need a year or two to round out his game. Very high ceiling if it all clicks.
