Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo is attempting to make his presence felt at practice. On Thursday, the Seahawks hosted their final OTA that's open to the media. Arroyo took full advantage of the extra eyes in attendance.
Arroyo caught a touchdown and made a handful of other long catches, according to Corbin K. Smith.
Seahawks general manager John Schneider selected Arroyo with the No. 50 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. The expectation is that Arroyo will make an immediate impact in Klint Kubiak's offense while serving as a big-play threat for new starting QB Sam Darnold. Thursday's OTA practice offered a glimpse into that possibility.
Arroyo is jockeying for positioning on a loaded Seahawks depth chart at tight end. The former Miami Hurricanes standout is attempting to earn snaps while competing with veteran Noah Fant and sophomore AJ Barner at the position. Plays like the ones he made at Thursday's practice helps.
Arroyo recorded 35 receptions for 590 yards and seven touchdowns at Miami this past college football season. The athletic pass catcher measured in with a pro-ready 6-foot-5 and 250 pound frame at the NFL Combine. Mike Macdonald, Kubiak, and all parties involved are pleased with the progress Arroyo has displayed at OTAs, with mandatory minicamp and training camp lurking around the corner.
