STACKED’s take

Arroyo's snap count growth depends on blocking improvement, not receiving talent.

Arroyo's role expansion hinges on blocking consistency and technical refinement rather than receiving talent. The source notes that unless he becomes a dominant receiver, coaches need to trust him as a blocker before expanding snap count in an offense expected to feature multiple tight-end sets. Hand placement, leverage, sustaining blocks, and overall technique require significant refinement before Seattle can comfortably leave him on the field in every personnel package. This remains the clearest path toward earning a larger role.
