Add a league for Mock Drafting, Draft War Room & In-season sync
The Seahawks selected Miami TE Elijah Arroyo in Round 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft. Arroyo caught just five balls as a true freshman in 2021, tore his ACL in 2022, and finished with one catch in 2023. But he flashed exciting playmaking ability this past year, catching 35 balls for 590 yards and seven TDs. Arroyo garnered just 9.5% of Hurricanes targets, while his 17.7% Dominator Rating ranked 11th among 21 TEs at the Combine. But he was very efficient, averaging a huge 16.9 yards per catch and ranking 19th in yards per route among 86 qualifying TEs. Arroyo was a field stretcher, with an 11.1-yard average target depth and eight catches 20+ yards downfield – fourth most among TEs. But he was at his best after the catch, leading all FBS TEs with 8.9 yards after the catch per reception. Arroyo didn’t test at the Combine or his Pro Day, but he looks like an excellent athlete at 250 pounds on tape. He creates separation at all levels of the field and adds value with his speed and agility after the catch. Arroyo ran 51% of his routes from the slot last year and projects as a catch-first TE at the next level.
Arroyo joins a Seahawks squad with a new QB (Sam Darnold) and OC (Klint Kubiak). This offense lost 182 targets from D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett but added former Ram Cooper Kupp.
We’ll see what type of role Arroyo can earn alongside veteran Noah Fant. But we saw nothing from Fant in 2024 to suggest he’ll finally fulfill his Round 1 draft status.
Fant’s contract runs for only one more season. Fellow TE AJ Barner is under contract for three more seasons but fills more of a blocking role.
With little WR depth behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and 32-year-old Cooper Kupp, Arroyo’s in a fine position to earn steady targets as soon as 2026. Add in his top-end athleticism, and the Miami product carries enticing dynasty potential.
