Elijah Arroyo 2025 NFL Combine and Draft Profile

Elijah Arroyo is an outstanding prospect with a ton of upside. He hasn't come close to reaching his full potential, but also only needs to make minor adjustments to get there. A lack of experience due to injuries has held back his development a bit and his medicals at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine could drastically impact his 2025 NFL Draft stock. He has the potential to be a star pass-catching tight end at the next level. We expect him to be drafted at some point on Day 2, likely at some point between the late second round or a top-20 pick in the third round. A lot depends on how the tight ends fall in this year's draft. It would be a shock to not see him be drafted as at least a top-five tight end off the board. He would be a perfect fit to land in a spot like Kansas City where he can develop for a year and land in a tight-end friendly system where he can free-lance and manipulate zone defenses.
