Analysts have spotlighted tight end Elijah Arroyo as a potential big winner under Fleury’s system. Field Gulls’ Alexandre Castro, writing for SB Nation, ranked Arroyo at the top of a list of four Seahawks players who could gain the most from Fleury’s background and approach. Castro noted that Fleury built his reputation coaching tight ends, developing a track record across the NFL of enhancing both traditional inline blocking and athletic receiving threats. Arroyo, in particular, fits the latter category: his combination of speed, burst, and movement skills positions him as a unique fit among Seattle’s tight ends.
The Seahawks selected Arroyo with the 50th overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. In his rookie season, Arroyo logged 15 receptions for 179 yards and one touchdown over 13 games.
For Seahawks fans and fantasy watchers alike, Arroyo’s profile under Fleury’s guidance will be worth monitoring as the team progresses through its offseason preparations and enters the new season with a reshaped offensive staff.
