Seahawks TE Elijah Arroyo said he's no longer battling the knee issue that limited him during the pre-draft process. Recall that Arroyo didn't run at the NFL Combine or Miami's Pro Day. However, per ESPN's Brady Henderson, the Seahawks estimated Arroyo's forty-time at 4.52 or 4.53 based on in-game GPS speeds.
Arroyo suited up for Seattle’s rookie minicamp and immediately made his presence felt. Here’s the rookie speaking to reporters (via ESPN):
"I'm a big target," Arroyo said when asked about his catch radius. "I'm a tight end, but when it comes to the pass game, I like to count myself as a receiver."
Arroyo brings an enticing dynasty outlook given his athletic traits and landing spot. But there's a real shot at 2025 value -- especially if Seattle trades veteran TE Noah Fant.
As Henderson writes: "A logical plan would be for the Seahawks to revisit the situation later in the summer after gauging his trade market, the available options to bolster their other needs and Arroyo's readiness to step into a starting role." Trading Fant would save about $9 million in cap space.
The potential for a Fant trade only bolsters Arroyo's appeal as a late-round stash.
