Statistics namely
The 2024 season was a year in small groups for Arroyo. After having only 16 targets in total between the 2021 and 2023 seasons due to knee injuries, Arroyo captured 35 of the 47 targets in the past year and totaled 590 yards to an impressive 16.9 yards per capture with seven affected.
Arroyo would rank second among all the extremities tightened in yards by capture (16.9) and was the first in the Middle Yac. Of its 47 targets, 25 came less than 10 meters from the melee line, while 15 others were more than 20 yards below, which was the fourth among the tight ends.

In addition, not being forgotten during the discussion of the closed final position in Shane Steichen’s offensive is the need to help in the race game as a blocker. By the PFF classification systemWith more opportunities in 2024, Arroyo has improved a bit in this area, although in relation to the rest of his position group, he has always classified 85th in this category.
As we know, the colts need a much greater presence of play of the final position, which Arroyo presented last season that he can provide.
However, going beyond Arroyo’s own potential production within the offensive, his ability to stretch the field of this position and attack the four levels can create discrepancies that he can not only exploit, but also for others in the game of passes.

How the colts evaluate Arroyo’s ability as a blocker and, more importantly, how they believe that he can grow more in this specific role will play a key factor to determine how much he finds himself on their dashboard.
The contributions of the passage game count, but the ability to hold a regular racing blocker is also vital.

To find out more about Arroyo, here is this Lance Zierlein de NFL.com wrote in his screening report:
“He posted a will at the same time as a point of attack and a travel blocker, but his technique and his playing force will have to be improved. He is an average athlete who has trouble beating the cover of man but who seems to become faster and more fluid while the 2024 season was. A productive pro.”
