Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald told reporters that he views rookie TE Elijah Arroyo as a “unique” player, who can “run an extensive route tree."

Arroyo was drafted in round two with the No. 50 overall pick by Seattle. Macdonald noted his ability to line-up all over the line of scrimmage as he did at Miami. The big knock on him coming out of college was his injury history which included a knee injury that ended his 2022 season and carried over into 2023. Arroyo is likely behind Noah Fant and AJ Barner on the depth chart as of right now, but he will be a player to monitor throughout OTAs and training camp. The Seahawks are expected to run more 12 personnel under new OC Klint Kubiak.
