Elijah Arroyo isn't much of a factor... Elijah Arroyo has one catch, one personal foul penalty on an interception in which he was the target... Sam Darnold has thrown four interceptions targeting Arroyo, compared to just one touchdown... Arroyo is not a schematic match for an offense that goes so heavy on 12 and 13 personnel but requires its tight ends to be credible blockers

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Arroyo's blocking weakness and vertical-only usage create schematic mismatch.

TE3 on depth chart with minimal production: one catch and one personal foul penalty on an interception in which he was the target through early 2026 season. Sam Darnold has thrown four interceptions targeting Arroyo compared to just one touchdown dating back to last year. Not trusted in the run game; when asked to block, he's often irrelevant to the play. Primarily used on vertical concepts, creating predictability issues. Arroyo is not a schematic match for an offense that relies heavily on 12 and 13 personnel and requires tight ends to be credible blockers.
