The Seattle Seahawks have a promising talent in rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo, selected 50th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. Arroyo had a standout college career at Miami, showcasing his skills with 35 receptions, 590 yards, and seven touchdowns. Standing tall at 6-foot-5 and weighing 250 pounds, he brings a formidable presence to the field. As he enters the Seahawks' competitive tight end room, he'll vie for playing time against established veterans like Noah Fant and rising star AJ Barner.

Realistic expectations for Arroyo's rookie season should be tempered; while his athleticism suggests potential for big plays, he is likely to start off rotating behind the veterans. Furthermore, Arroyo's previous injury history adds another layer of caution, especially as he aims to maintain his newfound health. As the Seahawks transition to Klint Kubiak's new offensive scheme with Sam Darnold at quarterback, Arroyo's adaptability and performance in training camp will be critical to his success.
