Arroyo's vertical-only usage creates predictability; schematic mismatch for run-heavy offense
Primarily used on vertical concepts with very limited route diversity; the source notes that if Arroyo isn't trusted as a run blocker and is only used on vertical deep routes, the offense becomes predictable. Blocking was a known weakness entering the draft, and the mismatch-hunter-in-space concept has not materialized consistently; appears to be a schematic mismatch for an offense that relies heavily on 12 and 13 personnel and requires tight ends to be credible blockers.
