PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Arroyo is a vertical seam threat with good ball skills and football IQ, but he lacks explosive acceleration and elite route-running ability. His best role in the NFL will likely be as a move tight end or big slot option, rather than a true in-line blocker. He has natural hands, a strong feel for zone coverage, and awareness in space, making him a potential asset in play-action passing schemes. However, his blocking technique, functional strength, and post-catch agility need improvement to become a well-rounded starter.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Mid-Level Starter Potential (60-64)
A solid, dependable starter with the potential to exceed expectations. They have good athleticism and tools but may lack elite traits. While they show flashes of high-level play, they also have some notable weaknesses that must be developed. These players often need 2-3 years to establish themselves.
